Teacher's Aide Internship Description

TEACHER'S AIDE INTERNSHIP

LOCATION
Kamulu, Kenya

TIMEFRAME

DESCRIPTION:

As you have probably noticed, much of what we do at MADE IN THE STREETS involves education. When all is said and done, we are a school, and our students—all of whom are former street kids—are at the center of all our programs. As a Teacher's Aide, you will partner with us in the classroom to love and serve our students on a daily basis.

Teacher's Aides spend their days in the Learning Centre (where all our classes are held). As a Teacher's Aide, your duties might vary greatly throughout the week, which keeps your time with us exciting. Though this role requires flexibility, the primary function is the same: to assist our teachers and administrators. This might look different on different days. For example, a Teacher's Aide might:

tutor students one on one when they need extra attention or practice
assist teachers with projects
grade papers
supervise make up exams or spelling tests

A personal relationship with Jesus Christ
