The Role of an Educational Support Assistant

Educational Support Assistants play a vital role in ensuring the smooth operation of any educational institution. The most effective assistants possess excellent communication skills and a strong desire to support the daily needs of all students. They are adept at building relationships with staff, students, and their families.

The responsibilities of an Educational Support Assistant may vary by school. You might assist the teacher during whole-class instruction, facilitate small group interventions, or provide one-on-one support to ensure that every child's needs are met, enabling them to thrive.
