Assistance

There is a school assistant at our school.

School Assistance

My name is Maria Geißler. I have an M.A. in Education/Humanities and have been working at Hans Christian Andersen School as a school assistant since August 2020.

The school assistance program was adopted by the Saxon state government as a “sustainable assurance of educational quality” in the Free State of Saxony.

School assistants support teachers in teaching, educating, advising, mentoring and supporting students and relieve them of extracurricular activities.

The duties of a school assistant include, in particular:

• Participation in the implementation of the educational mission of the school
• Contact person for students on site
• Participation in consultations with teachers, school management, parents, external partners and other relevant support networks
• Support for teachers in all pedagogical projects
• In-depth and remedial courses outside or in addition to the timetable, but no teaching of lessons
• Homework supervision
• Conduct individual and group instructional activities, such as Support classes, all-day programs (GTAs), and individual support
• Supervision of classes throughout the day as well as on class and day trips, supervision of student body during breaks.
• Organizational tasks, such as e.g. documenting educational activities, preparing protocols, assisting with project planning, and more.

Other tasks are optional and can be expanded or modified as needed at the school.

I look forward to a good cooperation with you.
