What rules and guidelines to enforce

by MsBAide

Jul 8, 2010

I am working this summer as a teacher aide for special education student. She is pretty easy going and can do things by herself. I supervise activities with her and with our activities the lead teacher explains what to do, which is something I don't mind much. I am also pretty easy going that I guess it escapes me and I forget or haven't quite mastered what rules to enforce with her. I'm not too sure what guidelines or rules to say comments about when I work with her. I am thinking maybe I should remind the lead teacher that I do see Ashley is pretty independent and can do things by herself with little or no help, and I especially think she likes her privacy and the quiet when she's working. She doesn't like too many rules. Would this be reasonable to do?

Leah You do need to talk with the lead teacher concerning her expectations for you as an aide to Ashley. What are the lead teacher's concerns? What does she want you to reinforce? Why does Ashley have an aid?
