We are recruiting for part time, limited duration Teaching Assistant positions (expected to end June 15, 2018). Positions are located in Salem, Oregon, and are classified and represented by Service Employees International Union (SEIU).
Teaching Assistants work with active D/HH children throughout the day. They are required to supervise students during special activities, and may work with students who have severe emotional or behavioral problems with whom physical restraint techniques may need to be used. Staff may work with and train volunteers, college practicum students, and/or student teachers. They may be exposed to communicable diseases, and they walk around and stand a great deal of the time in order to instruct and assess effectively. Duties include:
