Classroom assistance - help for pupils and teaching staff

The increasing expectations and demands of school education are particularly stressful for children with deficits. They may be a little slower, not very flexible or adaptable, less motivated or not so involved in their families that they would be able to cope with the school material and requirements on their own. Increasing observations of such situations have led to the emergence of an entirely new professional field to provide integrative support and assistance to teachers: classroom assistants. More and more primary and secondary schools are employing so-called co-teachers, classroom helpers or assistants. Their job titles are as varied as their tasks - there is currently no official job description. Classroom assistants take on all the tasks that support teachers in their daily challenges, such as making copies, looking after individual children or young people or small groups, helping children and young people with questions about school material or work assignments. They therefore form an interface in the triangle of child/young person, teaching staff and school.

In order to fulfill the role of classroom assistant profitably for everyone involved, the school assistant needs to be very clear about their own role, their specific tasks and be very interested in contributing their own individual strengths. Role awareness, attentiveness and a lot of heart are top priorities.

Appropriate further training can be very helpful in clarifying functions and roles. In addition, a course for classroom assistants offers the opportunity to learn more about the socio-educational field of activity, which is particularly helpful for classroom assistants with no previous pedagogical training. However, a corresponding course can also be an enrichment for employees in day structures and after-school care centers - they often face the same challenges as co-teachers.

Questions and answers

Training to become a classroom assistant is definitely useful for working in homework help or homework supervision. This is because it teaches the relevant methodological and didactic skills. In addition, knowledge of conversation and individual support is taught, which is helpful in helping with homework.

As each continuing education, further training course for classroom assistants has a different structure and focus, the structure of these courses can only be shown here by way of example using the educational offerings of one teaching institution. For example, Curiaviva's continuing education, further training in classroom assistance for 2018 focuses on the topics of role clarification, delimitation of functions, the system surrounding one's own function and awareness of areas of tension. There are also specialist courses on freely selectable topics, such as socio-educational group work, discussion management and individual support, dealing with conflicts and violence prevention, self-management, burn-out prevention and the integration of children with disabilities. The relevant training center will inform you about the exact content via the contact form.

Knowledge of one's own professional role and the associated tasks and limitations is particularly important for a classroom assistant. The perception of the field of action of one's own function between the child or young person, the school and the teacher are also important skills that are taught during training as a classroom assistant, as well as the development of action skills in connection with action skills and knowledge of care, developmental support, accompaniment or animation approaches for children or groups, depending on the individual focus. The individual training institutions will provide you with detailed information on the skills to be acquired during such continuing education, further training.

Continuing education, further training in the field of classroom and school assistance can be aimed at people who would like to work in this function in the future and therefore want to familiarize themselves with the topic, or at people who are already working as classroom assistants and would like to develop professional foundations and strategies for action. Socio-educational staff in schools and employees in school facilities, such as after-school care, can also be a target group.

The scope of classroom assistant training varies depending on the training provider. For example, 10 days (Curaviva continuing education, further training) spread over almost 8 months is possible.

Respect instead of violence
(5.7) Excellent 12 12 Ratings (100% )
My course for school, class and care assistants is open to all interested parties (no employment in care is required). The lessons are varied and include numerous case studies, group work and learning through play. We also cover topics such as new authority according to Haim Omer, resilience, closeness and distance, non-violent communication according to M. Rosenberg as well as learning and learning difficulties, ADHD, ASD and much more.

The school, class and care assistants are very valuable in our school system and it is hard to imagine life without them. They relieve teachers during lessons when dealing with heterogeneous classes. They also look after the children during lunchtimes and off-peak times. Professional foundations, skills and self-reflection are very important in both settings. My continuing education, further training is tailored precisely to these skills and gives participants the necessary tools to interact with teachers, children and young people in a mindful and professional manner.
Strengths: I have been a lecturer at technical colleges, in parent education and at specialist agencies, a conflict facilitator, supervisor and coach of individuals and teams in the school environment, a teacher...
