About
Teaching assistants work in the classroom to provide direct instructional support to students under the supervision of a licensed teacher. The entire program can be completed online, in a traditional classroom, or a combination of both, and is a great option for those looking to quickly get into a classroom setting. All teaching assistants in New York State are required to obtain certification, and this program can fulfill that requirement.
