Itinerant Teacher Assistant job outlook: Expert opinions
Our panel of itinerant teacher assistant experts
Augustana University
Dr. PJ Sedillo
Associate ProfessorWhat will help Itinerant Teacher Assistants increase their earning potential?
Dr. PJ Sedillo: Between lesson planning, IEPs, meetings with parents, and getting to know your students, your first year as a special education teacher can be overwhelming. Knowing how to manage it by planning ahead can help you have a successful first year. Special education students require much more documentation than other students. By keeping track of each little success and setback, the teacher will quickly see the trends that help create a positive learning environment for each student. Sharing the progress with the students is another form of positive feedback.

Will there be an enduring impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Itinerant Teacher Assistants?
Dr. Michelle Powers: One of the differences, about the pandemic compared to other large scale events, is that this event touched everyone's lives. No one was left without an impact from going through COVID 19. As future professionals, our graduates are at a point in their lives when they are ready to make their mark on this world. Knowing what is ahead of them, with the potential for future health challenges such as this, I would say there is a substantial impact on how they now perceive their future and their role. They see the challenges of communities, which, of course, include our school systems, struggling to balance personal rights and health concerns. As part of Augustana's core values, our students are focused on caring for one another and the world around us. I expect our graduates, having lived and learned under these unusual times, will pursue their vocation of teaching with great passion and a deep commitment to providing the best educational opportunities possible for their students, no matter what circumstances or challenges we face in the future.
