Training For Teachers on Effective TA Use – Free for Districts and Tailored to Their Needs
Many teachers are confused about requirements for TAs as well as their own responsibilities for providing TA supervision and direction as required by law. For many teachers, using TAs in a supportive and efficient way is a new area. They may be confused about how to clarify with their TA respective roles and responsibilities. Teachers may want strategies on how teachers and TAs plan and communicate with each other as an effective instructional team. Teachers may wonder about TAs and their interactions with families, how to encourage confidentiality, and how to provide job-specific support so that TAs know how to implement direction that the teacher provides to them.
