TEACHER TESTIMONIALS

“Having the support of a classroom aide is invaluable to me and my students.  Our aides help students reach their full potential by making more small group learning possible.”
 
“Having a classroom aide is invaluable in so many ways.  With the reality of increased class sizes, extra support is appreciated more than ever.  Aides allow for smaller group instruction, individual attention, remedial and challenge opportunities, and ability grouping.  We are so fortunate to have this kind of support at our school.”
 
“Our aide's help and support is incredible.  My students can’t wait to work with her and feel supported, encouraged and successful at their level.”
 
“My classroom aide is a really special talent.  She is dedicated, patient, and extremely intelligent.  It is priceless for my students to have an additional, consistent adult to foster and enrich their love of literature and words.  It is also priceless for me as the teacher to have a trustworthy, reliable resource that I can count on to deliver quality instruction.”
