Roles and Responsibilities

What are teacher responsibilities that may not be delegated

to a paraeducator?
The teacher is responsible for the learning environment in which paras
work, decisions about curriculum, teaching techniques, testing,
management, establish classroom rules, defining consequences
(positive/negative)
What are teacher responsibilities that may be shared with paraeducators?
Teachers should be sharing students goals, coordinating lesson plans,
getting feedback on students progress, making sure paras used a good
teaching method, and behavior management, how rules should be
interpreted with students
Which IA responsibilities are you looking forward to completing the most?
I am most looking forward to learning and completing effective
instructional strategies. I am motivated to be able to work with teachers to
learning effective ways to teach children. As of right now, being in the
classroom on Wednesdays I am just getting familiar with working with second
graders and where they are with their skills and how I can assist them
through the teachers techniques. I am eager to start helping correct papers
and to be able to understand students thoughts better and see where they
are in their studies so an effective way of teaching and encouragement is
applied to each student.
