Teacher Assistant

With activities to plan, homework to grade, and challenging students to instruct, teachers are often overworked. That's where teacher assistants come in.

In this associate’s degree program -- often called early childhood associate or teacher associate -- you’ll learn how to help teachers with a variety of classroom tasks. These tasks range from assisting students with schoolwork to evaluating and revising lesson plans. You might even decide to specialize in such areas as special education and multicultural education.
