  • Maintain a safe and orderly learning environment for all students.

I monitor students using equipment safely, inside or outside the classroom. Including, monitoring student interactions, to make sure each student is safe while learning and building self-confidence.

  • Implement school values and regulations in order to maintain an appropriate learning environment for all students when necessary.

I refer to the school's values by asking the students what each value means to them and how they can implement these values with their peers.

  • Build and strengthen positive relationships with students.

Getting to know the students interests, strengths and weakness' to build trust and respect. I encourage students to build their knowledge and supporting them academically, socially and emotionally.

  • Assist teachers with classroom activities and instruction.

Assisting the classroom teacher with setting up rotating work stations for younger students, or structuring comprehension sessions for older students' reading groups, also helping with any other activity that needs setting up or worksheet handouts.

  • Conduct small group and/or individual activities to reinforce learning objectives and strengthen confidence across various subjects.

The students who need extra help with writing, reading, and math usually sit with me, as modifications to their work are needed for them to further develop their knowledge and understanding. These group activities are very successful, as they can thrive at their own pace and reach higher marks throughout the year.
