Duties Description As a teaching assistant, you would, under the general supervision of a fully qualified teacher, perform duties related to providing direct instructional service to students. Some of these duties include, but would not be limited to: utilizing suggested techniques and lesson plans, tests and teaching aids developed by a fully qualified teacher, instructing learners individually or in a group for the purpose of conveying specific and limited subject matter; reinforcing subject matter previously taught by a teacher by guiding pupils through a prescribed and frequently repetitive learning exercise; administering, proctoring, and correcting tests; preparing training aids and utilizing technology and computers as part of the class; and accompanying learners on field trips or on special activities.

Minimum Qualifications This title is part of the New York Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement Statewide Program (NY HELPS).*

You must have one of the following certificates issued by the New York State Education Department
1: Level 3 teaching assistant certificate
2: Pre-Professional Teaching Assistant Certificate
3: Continuing certificate as a teaching assistant
4: Provisional, Initial, Permanent, or Professional teacher certificate

Requirements for continued employment: Possession of a level 3 teaching assistant certificate, pre-professional teaching assistant, or provisional, initial, permanent, or professional teacher certificate issued by the New York State Education Department is necessary for continued employment. Loss of certification will result in termination of employment.

*For the duration of the NY HELPS Program, this title may be filled via a non-competitive appointment, which means no examination is required but all candidates must meet the minimum qualifications of the title for which they apply.
At a future date, it is expected employees hired under NY HELPS will have their non-competitive employment status converted to competitive status, without having to compete in an examination. Employees will then be afforded with all of the same rights and privileges of competitive class employees of New York State. While serving permanently in an NY HELPS title, employees may take part in any promotion examination for which they are qualified.

Some positions may require additional credentials or a background check to verify your identity.
