T is for Teacher.

A person who teaches or instructs,
usually in a school setting. BUT
there are many others in our
children's lives who "teach."

So, at school we have :

Lead teachers--
Those responsible for all the fun 
stuff that goes along with being 
the lead.

Paras--
Those that work as closely with 
the students as the teachers, they 
also assist in the classroom with 
data collection, recess duty, rest-
room assistance and much more.
In our district, they are assigned 
to the Special Ed dept.

Aides--
They are usually in the general ed 
rooms assisting with the class 
activities, covering a class while 
the teacher is in a meeting and 
sometimes they get cafeteria duty 
too.

Speech, OT, PT, Music and Vision 
therapists--
These people are more specialized 
and focus on a specific need a
student may have.

Art. Library, Music and PE--
They are another group of specialized
group of teachers.

Classroom volunteers--
Under the guidance of the classroom
staff they assist where needed.

First and foremost are Parents--
Our children's first teacher.

Children don't come with handbooks
so we all do the best we can to provide
for our kids. 
Oh, let's not forget our
Grandparents--
They are some of THE BEST teachers
we could have.

If you know another "TEACHER, "
thank them.
