Elementary School Teaching Assistants
An elementary school teaching assistant is an adult who is hired to help a teacher with class-related duties, which are similar to those encountered in middle and high school settings. They are sometimes referred to as paraprofessionals ('paras' for short) or teacher's aides. Elementary school teaching assistants are generally hired on a contract that lasts the entire academic year. Teaching assistants aide with multiple duties within schools, and can be hired in special education as well.
Teachers in an elementary classroom will select students within the class to help pass out, or collect school supplies. Teachers sometimes reward students who volunteer with stickers or a point system.
