In a regular school setting, learning challenged children are
often provided with a teacher aide to assist them in their learning. In a special education setting, the teacher aide plays an even more important role in supporting the students with special needs. The teacher aide works closely with the special education teacher to provide individualized support to each student.
Some of the responsibilities of a teacher aide in a special education setting may include:
1. Providing one-on-one support to students with special needs during class time.
2. Assisting with classroom management and behavior support.
3. Helping to modify and adapt curriculum materials to meet the needs of individual students.
4. Providing support during assessments and testing.
5. Communicating with parents and other professionals involved in the student's education.
Overall, the teacher aide plays a critical role in ensuring that students with special needs receive the support they need to succeed in the classroom.
