What does your job entail?
My job entitles me to be with one student all day. I make sure my student stays on task and he is in the right location during the school day.
What brings you joy in your role?
What brings joy in my role as a TBA is the growth my students make from year to year. I love working with students with disabilities because they make a big difference in this world.
How do you make a difference in the lives of your students and their families?
I believe I make a difference in their lives by working hard and giving my all for them and their children.
What other roles do you fill your
school?
I work closely with the teachers to make sure my student gets what he needs for his educational purposes. I also help monitor testing.
Why is it important for BTU members to play an active role in their schools or jobsites?
I think it’s important for BTU members to play an active role because their voices matter and need to be heard and they are important to the BTU
Is there anything else you’d like to
add?
