Sinai Akiba Academy seeks dynamic, committed, and creative individuals for opportunities as Teaching Assistants in our Lower School (kindergarten through 5th grade). TAs work alongside an experienced lead teacher and are responsible for assisting the teacher in teaching curriculum, preparing instructional materials, working with small groups of students, and supporting the students’ academic, social, and emotional needs.
TAs also work closely with other Staffulty members and TAs to support and supervise students as they transition between classes and activities, during recess and lunch periods, and at other academic and non-academic times. Teaching Assistants participate in the school community including implementing RULER and Responsive Classroom practices in the classroom and other school settings, collaborating with other Staffulty on interdisciplinary projects, and participating in faculty meetings and professional development.
