October 2nd will mark my first month into the role as an assistant teacher. I have been getting a lot of DMs and emails about what I do as well. Since stepping into my new role as a teacher’s assistant I have also been subbing for 6th and 7th graders.

This month I started my job as a teacher’s assistant. This role has been a completely new experience for me. I have never substituted. I have never worked in a classroom before, so everything about this role has been brand new. In just two weeks, I’ve learned so much! Plus, what I learned was not just about the students, but about myself and how I carry myself in this environment.
