Hi fellow teacher assistants, instructional assistants, teachers aide, paraprofessionals. I am a full time k assistant in an elementary school. I'm wondering how other schools share lunch duty.

We have monitors for lunch!

We have lunch and recess aides who also have classroom duties (copying, laminating, etc.). When I was working in pre-k, I went along with my students for lunch and recess as a familiar face and to assist if there was an issue with my students. No other grades have teaching assistants go with them. Our MS/HS has lunchroom monitors.

I am included along with other teachers on duty, but follow students to play ground. I have also only shadowed the students who are in my class, not responsible for othets, but help where needed

Same for me last year, but not sure whay to expect in the fall

My school has 12 regular Ed Instructional assistants. We have 6 in K and 6 in 1st. No other grades K-4 have an assistant. We do have an II department and special ed with assistants. I am a K assistant. For lunch duty all regular ed assistants spend approximately an hour and a half in the cafeteria. This includes monitoring their own class as well as another grade classroom. Some have 2 classrooms or 3 classrooms amongst 2 assistants.

Received an offer for non- tech CCM role and wondering if I should accept. I feel like I was lowballed and downleved despite having 6 YOE (relevant but not in tech). Not sure it will be beneficial to leave my current role for this offer to get my foot in the door.

I’m at the cap for salary at the level/role and can’t negotiate offer any higher.

As a Teacher Assistant, how are you doing his school year.

Do you know what the 2022/2023 school year looks like at your school?

Just wondering if others have a clue what’s going on. We have been told nothing about how we will do our job this year. Or if we even have a job. Our school is doing in school for K-6 and hybrid for 7-12. I’m not sure if I even want to be there. It’s very concerning to me.

I feel like in our school they are asking more and more of aides and other staff with no certification (beyond HS diploma). Don't get me wrong I don't mind helping out but we are the lowest paid position in the district, why are we asked to fill in for everyone else with no compensation? Ive subbed in classroom and special areas... um even uncertified subs make more than me... admin insists this is happening everywhere and we need to be flexible... but is it really?!?!
