TEACHER ASSISTANT

Hi TA's;

I hope you are well and looking forward to taking part in some educational opportunities.... online.

I would ask each of you to check in with your Teacher Sponsor (sometime early next week) to see how you might be helpful to them as they prepare to take their lessons online.

I will connect with you sometime next week to discuss options.

Thanks!

Hosh

ASSIGNMENT #6 - Final Questions

I hope you have enjoyed your role as a Teacher Assistant.  Please take the time to thank your sponsor teacher for taking you on as their TA.  I'm sure they will also want the opportunity to thank you for your help as well.

Your final assignment can be found at the link below.

Teacher Assistant Assignment #6

Please submit your completed assignment to the Teacher Assistant folder in the office by January 25, 2017.

ASSIGNMENT #5 - Teach a Lesson

Assignment #5 is to TEACH a lesson (or a portion of a lesson) to the class you have been working with.  I will provide each of you with a handout for this assignment but you can also access it at the following link;

Teach a Lesson Assignment

Lesson Evaluation Rubric

**Again, very important that you have a discussion with your sponsor teacher about what topic you will be teaching and when you should teach your lesson.  Please have this discussion sooner rather than later.

For ASSIGNMENT #5 - Please ask your teacher sponsor to evaluate the lesson that you teach.  They have been provided with a copy of the Evaluation Rubric.

Please come and see me if you need any assistance.

ASSIGNMENT #4 - Design a Lesson

I have provided each of you with an outline of Assignment #4 - on the back of your handout is a template - you may use this to organize your lesson or create your own template.

Assignment #5 will be to teach a lesson to the class you are assisting with.  So - it makes the most sense to use the lesson plan that you create in Lesson #4.

Here's a link on Office 365 if you need an additional copy;

Lesson Plan Assignment

Lesson Plan Template

**Please discuss this assignment with your sponsor teacher within the next week (before Dec. 9) rather than leaving it to the last minute.  Your sponsor teacher will appreciate having some time to think about when it would make the most sense to have you teach your lesson.

For ASSIGNMENT #4 - Either your sponsor teacher or I will evaluate your lesson plan.  If you would like me to evaluate it - please place it in the TA folder in the office.

Please come and see me if you need any help.

Hi All;

Thanks to those of you who got your Assignment #1 handed in.  For those of you who have yet to complete it and hand it in, I ask that you do that soon, please.

I have handed out Assignment #2 to all of you.  I hope by now you've had the chance to speak with your sponsor teacher and have some ideas to begin either creating your display or resources.  Please remember this assignment is due October 24, 2016.

The evaluation that your teacher sponsor gives you will be worth 60% of your term mark.  You can view the evaluation sheet at the link below.  You may have to log into your Office 365 account to do this - I have shared the document with each of you through Office 365.

Teacher Assistant Evaluation Form

Please feel free to submit your assignments through the Office 365 account as well.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns or need any help with anything.
