-Help teachers with record keeping, such as tracking attendance and calculating grades;
-Help teachers prepare for lessons by getting materials ready or setting up equipment, such as computers;

Being a Homeroom teacher provided me with a better opportunity to connect with the students as I had to be engaged with them almost the entire duration of the school hours.

-To plan and coordinate work collaboratively with others;
-Organizing and taking part in school events, outings and activities which may take place at weekends or in the evening;
-Duties and submissions as required by the Principal.
The responsibilities of my work as an assistant teacher for grade 1, 2 and 3 included:
