primary school teaching assistant

Primary school teaching assistants provide instructional and practical support to primary school teachers. They reinforce instruction with students in need of extra attention and prepare the materials the teacher needs in class. They also perform clerical work, monitor the students' learning progress and behaviour and supervise the students with and without the head teacher present.

The most in-demand skills for this role include primary school procedures, handle children's problems, guarantee students' safety, manage student relationships, support the positiveness of youths, maintain students' discipline. These are the skills O*NET identifies as most important for competent performance.
