Now in its third edition, The Role of an Education Assistant provides research, anecdotes, and practical insights from leading scholars and professionals for navigating the complexities of the education assistant role, from collaborating with teachers and students in lesson planning to creating inclusive learning environments.
Divided into four sections, The Role of an Education Assistant addresses professional standards, mental health and wellness, culture and diversity, and the challenge of supporting all students in the classroom. Drawing on the contributors’ research and field experience alongside discussion questions that encourage student reflection, this updated third edition introduces two new chapters, one on observation and documentation and another on cultivating creativity, a new list of Indigenous resources, and an expanded preface.
