ABOUT THE SERIES

The role of a Teaching Assistant is a very rewarding one, offering a positive impact on the lives of students and their educational future. However, it can also be very challenging, as you help monitor students' behaviour in the classroom, hallways, cafeteria, playground, and on school trips, as well as providing additional instructional assistance to students with special needs and students who need extra help in completing classwork.

Join Joy Marchese for this four-part Positive Discipline online series designed specifically for Teaching Assistants.

Participants will earn a Certificate of Completion.
