Whooo you go Girl. On point . I’m currently a special Ed teacher aide at a middle school. And these were the exact questions I got asked on my interview and I basically answered just how you shared with us. So funny! Loved your video. So bomb. Just received my bachelors December 2021. Looking to get certified. Going on one year as a teacher aide for 6th and now doing 7th grade.

​@hopeful I'm not sure what age group you'll be working with, but I'll let you know of my experience thus far with the kiddos I work with! I work with children who are 1-5 years old. So for my specific position, as a teachers aide, I help the teacher and teachers assistant with keeping the kids focused and behaving themselves! I change diapers, enforce good social behavior, read the kids books, engage in their activities, etc. At the specific school I applied and got hired for, it's honestly very straight forward process and you learn as you go. So, overall, it's been very simple! It's tiring and working with kids can be hard, but rewarding! Just keep in mind, every school is different with what they expect from their employees, but I believe in you! You'll figure it out if you're passionate enough for the position and are willing to learn along the way. That's what I've done, and it's been a wonderful experience! Best of luck!! Remember to take a deep breath before your interview and be open to the experience.

@@teachingwithcaira Hi! In TX one must work with a school district and ask the school's human resource department to send a recommendation to the TEA (Texas Education Agency), for your Paraprofessional certification to be issued. Despite the fact that I have a BA degree, took a ParaPro assessment from ETS/TeachersTestPrep academia website ( alt form of a 3 subject competency test for a certification--which I passed (score 473) getting 8 point above the 465 average and 13 points above the 455 minimum) and subbed thru an educational staffing agency for 2 years--going to various schools on majority daily to weekly sporadically, b/c it wasn't with one school district at an extended amount of time at one school, you have spend an unspecified amount of time with one school and hope you've done enough to get written approval to get a certification. Also I had some ISD agencies ask why I don't want to become a regular Teacher? I replied "I'm more comfortable being the assistant," plus I originally didn't go to college to be a teacher so its not a teaching degree, just a general English major with Sociology minor degree. Any advice on that?

I would also say that some of your duties will possibly be copying, walking them to specials, helping with folders and a bunch of other things. Last but not least never be afraid to ask questions and make yourself involved in the teams your working on or with. Good luck 🍀
