Meet our Instructional Assistants
Our dedicated team of instructional assistants play a vital role in supporting our students and enhancing their learning experience at First Flight Elementary. They work closely with classroom teachers to ensure every student receives the attention and resources they need to thrive. Here’s how they make a difference:
Collaborating with Classroom Teachers
- Small Group Instruction: Our instructional assistants collaborate with classroom teachers to work with small groups of students. This focused attention helps students grasp concepts more effectively.
- Identifying Needs: They assist teachers in identifying students who may require additional intervention or enrichment, ensuring that each child gets the support they need.
- Maintaining Records: Instructional assistants help keep track of student progress and maintain related records, which is crucial for ongoing assessment and development.
Supporting Students Directly
- Individual or Small Group Assistance: Instructional assistants work with individual students or small groups across all curricular areas. They help build background knowledge, practice, and reinforce learning concepts.
- Achieving Academic Goals: By providing targeted support, instructional assistants help students reach their academic goals and meet grade-level standards.
Collaborating for Success
- Student Progress: Instructional assistants regularly collaborate with classroom teachers to discuss student progress.
- Developing Tools: They help identify and develop appropriate tools and strategies to enhance learning, tailored to each student's needs.
