Teacher Aide / Assistant Handbook: Training Manual, Editable!

This 25 page powerpoint document is perfect for training new teacher assistants or paraprofessionals. All slides are formatted to fit standard paper size for easy printing (8.5 x 11).

There are 3 different cover pages which all look the same, but have different wording. This is because some schools and districts call individuals in these roles paraprofessionals, teacher aides, or teacher assistants.

Each page is EDITABLE so you can change the body of the text to make it appropriate for your specific classroom. The exception is that you cannot edit the heading at the top, or the heading on the title page (only customize your school or classroom name and mascot at the bottom).

The following topics are discussed, and below is the table of contents:
