Program Description
Teacher’s Aide Professionals are educational professionals who work alongside full-time teachers to reinforce their instruction and provide administrative assistance. Teacher’s Aides perform many different tasks such as one on one attention with struggling students, monitoring the classroom anytime the full-time teacher is out, grading assignment, and integrating different technology into the classroom. Being a teacher’s aide is a very rewarding career that provides the opportunity of teaching without the extensive academic training. Working as a teacher’s aide is also a wonderful starting career for those looking to advance to a full-time teacher. The salary for teacher’s aides can vary depending on location and school district. The 2015 median salary for a teacher’s aide was $24,900.
