Teaching assistants work in a variety of situations. Sometimes they work with the whole class, sometimes they work with individuals or groups of children. It is important that whichever role we take on we are fair to other children balancing the support needs of the individual with that of the rest of the group. For example if you are working with a particular group and a child from another group asks for help, you would not necessarily ignore the other children. Focus your behaviour on the group you are allocated but not at the detriment of others.
There are a variety of ways for the teaching assistant to promote the independent learning: -Setting clear rules and instructions help the child build their confidence. Knowing what to do should encourage them to get on with their tasks or activities independently. -Encouraging group work helps students to develop social skills and communication, encourages them to speak up and present their ideas to their peers which builds their self- esteem and confidence and motivates them to independent learning. -Celebrating successes- Students respond well to praise and are usually motivated to do their best.

Applying to be a resident assistant is one of the best and most rewarding decisions that I made in college. Without my experiences in Residence Life, my college experience would not have been as rich as fulfilling. I was a freshmen women’s RA for my first two years as an RA and I always look back fondly over that time. Although there was definitely a lot of struggles and conflicts that occurred in my freshmen modules, that’s really where my heart is. Over my past three years as an RA, I have always been interested in hearing about and learning about the experiences of other freshmen women RAs.
The Campus of Virginia Randolph is a school for children with mental disabilities and emotional disorders. I imagined an Instructional Assistant job meant that I would be assisting the Lead instructor with lesson planning and group projects. While that may be part of the job, it wasn 't as often an occurrence as expected. My job was mainly to separate kids who fought, follow students who ran out of the classroom whenever they felt, and to watch for triggers that may set off the
As a admin and learning support co-ordinator, I am also available for learners to approach with individual issues. Once needs have been established it is my role to negotiate with management (if appropriate) and learning providers to arrange suitable courses that meets the needs of the learners. If training is to take place on the premises I ensure that the rooms are booked and time off is agreed. I also liaise with security and ensure relevant materials are available. After learning has taken place, I discuss with individual learners what went well or not so well, and look at what further support is needed to consolidate or progress.

From an early age, I have been fascinated by the workings of life; the human body is a remarkable machine with many diverse systems producing an organism that can never be artificially reproduced. My decision to study a course that provides care and love to patients originated from my ambition to pursue a career that combined my enthusiasm for sciences, particularly Biology and Chemistry, with my love of working with people. My interest in helping individuals was sparked during my work placement at a local Optician. During my time here, I have developed many skills suiting the optical environment and the experience has helped further my understanding of this field. I began by shadowing my experienced colleagues in a range of services such as dispensing suitable spectacles for each patient.
The principles of relationship building with Children, Young people and Adults need to be nurtured in order to maintain the relationship that has already formed. All parties need to feel secure and comfortable around one another in order to build further trust and open up and talk effectively about any subjects and issues. Teaching assistants need to act as good role models to the children, young people and adults. Teaching assistants need to be polite, considerate, empathic and good at identifying and sorting out problems as they are also regarded as a representative of the school. The children and young people need to be encouraged and praised with their academic life and showed by staff that they are accepted for what they are and receive

The fourth key element: availability of general education problem solving support systems notes that when clinical teaching is not successful, teachers should have access to problem solving support systems (Garcia & Ortiz, 2006). The general education setting is where the teacher has to make observations and do the prereferral intervention. When the teacher is faced with issue that may seem difficult to work with, then he/she can seek additional help to meet student needs. For instance, teachers can exchange resources with their peer teachers or even meet with ESL or special education teachers to come up with functional strategies. Teacher Assistant Teams (TAT) are made up of four to six general education teachers and they meet to help
Since this course would be my first PA course, it is very exciting. Throughout college, I have been taking courses not entirely relevant to the Physician Assistant major. I hope to learn many practical aspects related to physician assistance such as; learning how to take a patient's vitals, learning how to administer a full physical examination, learning about certain diseases, learning how to obtain and record a patient's history. I also want to understand the clinical process in more depth, learning and appreciating the art of medicine, as well as having a deeper appreciation and understanding about the Physician Assistant profession. I also want to obtain a very strong foundation on the Physician Assistant major before graduate school.
For example is when the child becomes aggressive, their behaviour changed. They used to be sociable but now they are isolating themselves because they are depressed. The Teacher assistant will recognise this by the change of the behaviour of the child, to communicate with the child effectively, the teacher will use a non verbal expression like facial expression to show to the child that they care and also they will change their tone of voice into calm and lower tone because this affects how the child will respond to the teacher and will also make the child feel comfortable.
I want to be like her to do intern during college and then apply for a teaching job before I finish college. Both of us love children very much too because children are very cute and honest and children like to share everything they know. I agree with Ms. Mei that as a teacher has to be friendlier with the student because it is easy to help students. Furthermore, I grant with Ms. Mei that teachers should remember each of student’s behavior when student dislikes or action different from normal then the teacher can help him/her. When teaching one-on-one is different with a group of students because one-on-one you only force on one student, but in the group you need to look at many students at the same time.
Teach for America (TFA) began as Wendy Kopp’s senior thesis at Princeton University to address the teacher gap and teacher shortages. Kopp hoped to attract the “most promising future leaders” and enlist them to work in the most disadvantaged schools. Kopp believed that by giving TFA an aura and status top graduates would be interested in joining the organization. According to Kopp, the added prestige for TFA would “counteract teaching’s image as a ‘soft’ and downwardly mobile career”. Under this premise, Teach for America would begin operating as a 501(c)(3) in 1989.
