Students Work As Aides
Julie Harrison
"I think it's a really effective
program." commented Wally
Vait. referring to the teacher aide
program in Ashland elementary
schools. Wally spends his first
and second periods as a teacher's
aide in a sixth grade class at
Walker School.
The program actually began
last year with aides in the math,
foreign language and other
departments within the high
school. This year it expanded to
include Kellview and Walker
Schools. Presently. 19 high school
students are in these elementary
schools two periods a day helping
individual students to overcome
problems.
According to vice-principal Mr.
Bud Silver, the program was
initiated because high school
students are beginning to "show
more interest in other people
around them" and it was found
that similar teacher's aide pro
grams in other areas had worked
"moderately well."
Iteing a teacher's aide is a
particularly good experience for
students interested in any form of
social work or teaching. Any
student with sufficient interest
and transportation to either
Itcllview or Walker mav he an
elementary teacher's aiile.
As a course, serving as a
teacher's aide is graded only pass
or fail with credit given for
passing.
Silver described the program
as "a low pressure type of
situation" with few rules. The
aide's activities are negotiated
between the elementary teacher
and the aide himself with little
intervention from the high
school.
"Basically. I'm on my own,"
Wally explained, "there's not
much busy work." Because he is
closer to the elementary stu
dents' own age than is the
teacher. Wally feels he is "not so
much of an authoritative figure"
and that he can "show them
instead of teach them."
