As a Paraeducator, you will work closely with certified teachers to support the academic and social development of students in a classroom setting. Your role will be essential in helping students achieve their educational goals, particularly those who require additional support due to learning disabilities, behavioral challenges, or language barriers.
The ideal candidate will be patient, empathetic, and passionate about education. You will assist in implementing lesson plans, supervising students, and providing one-on-one or small group instruction under the guidance of a lead teacher. You may also help with classroom management, prepare instructional materials, and support students with special needs by adapting learning activities to meet their individual requirements.
In this role, you will need to communicate effectively with students, teachers, and parents, and maintain a positive and inclusive learning environment. Flexibility and the ability to handle a variety of tasks are key, as you may be asked to assist in different classrooms or with different age groups throughout the school day.
This position offers a rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful impact on students’ lives and contribute to their educational success. Whether you're considering a long-term career in education or looking to gain experience in a school setting, this role provides valuable hands-on experience and professional growth.
Key duties include assisting with classroom instruction, monitoring student behavior, supporting students with special needs, and helping to maintain a safe and organized learning environment. You will also be expected to participate in staff meetings, training sessions, and parent-teacher conferences as needed.
