I'm a passionate Teacher Aide and Dance/Cheer Coach with a strong commitment to student development and success. Proficient in delivering both academic support and extracurricular coaching, with a talent for creating engaging learning environments and promoting positive behaviour. Adept at implementing educational programs and fostering meaningful relationships with students, staff and families to encourage student achievement and confidence.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
