teaching assistant

A teaching assistant (TA) is an individual who supports a teacher in the classroom. Their roles can include helping to prepare lesson materials, assisting students with their work, managing classroom activities, and sometimes leading small group discussions. TAs can be invaluable in providing additional attention to students who may need more help, thereby enhancing the overall learning experience. They often work in various educational settings, including elementary schools, high schools, and colleges, and their presence allows teachers to focus more on instructing and engaging the entire class effectively.
