Educational assistants (EA’s) are so valuable in a school! The best qualifications of an EA are patience, love, creativity, and consistency. In my opinion, those qualities far outweigh any courses that may have been completed.
EA’s help provide students with the needed support to function within the classroom.
Here you see a big dice (di?) that one EA created in her ‘spare’ time. Also, a tactile ecosystem model. Both are examples of how an EA is making inclusion successful.
