Education Assistant

Education Assistants assist students with integration into the classroom and school setting and help students individually or in small groups with assignments and reinforce learning and retention concepts under the supervision of the classroom teacher.

They assist students with special needs using techniques such as sign language, braille and remedial programs, monitor and report student progress to the classroom teacher, and accompany and supervise students during activities in school gymnasiums, laboratories, libraries, resource centres and on field trips.

In addition, they may assist teachers in the operation of projectors, tape recorders and other audio-visual or electronic equipment, and perform other assisting as required.
