The School of Education is recruiting local Columbus-Lowndes Teacher Assistants for our first Teacher Assistant Day, scheduled February 21, 2024. Local elementary principals are asked to recommend Teacher Assistants who have shown dedication, potential, and a genuine interest in furthering their education. The team with the School of Education will host these local paraprofessionals and discuss our program, educator licensure pathways, scholarship opportunities, and time investment.

We recognize that quality Teacher Assistants are instrumental to classrooms. Many of these aides would make excellent licensed teachers. Our goal at The W is to help support and guide these paraprofessionals by providing personalized resources and support for each stage of our licensure track programs.
