School Aide Duties and Responsibilities
School aides perform various tasks as they provide support to teachers. We broke down several school aide job descriptions to come up with the following list of the most common school aide duties and responsibilities:
Work on Student’s Individualized Education Plan Students with special needs have individualized education plans, known as IEPs, based on their specific needs. These plans are created by teachers, parents, administrators, and the assigned school aide. School aides assist teachers in implementing their student’s IEP.
Help Teacher with Pre-lesson Preparation School aides help teachers prepare the classroom for lessons, performing tasks such as setting up the projector or passing out materials students will need to complete the lesson. These tasks vary depending on the lesson and the school aide’s specialization.
Assist with Clerical Tasks School aides help teachers with the record keeping tasks, such as taking attendance, and may grade assignments in class while the teacher moves on to a new lesson.
Reinforce Lessons in One-on-One or Small Group Settings Some school aides help the teacher to keep the class running smoothly; others work one-on-one with a special needs student. School aides who work directly with a student present the lesson materials in a way the student can grasp. School aides who work with a class help their teachers facilitate group work and answer questions during individual work time.
Supervise Students During and Between Classes Many schools employ school aides specifically to monitor students while they’re in the lunchroom or in the lunchroom or in the hall between classes. School aides assigned to an elementary classroom supervise children during recess.
