Supporting Teacher Assistants in North Carolina

The North Carolina Association of Teacher Assistants promotes the important role of teacher assistants in the public schools, provides professional training opportunities, and works to improve salaries and employment security. NCATA provides its members with:
  • Invaluable Peer Networking
  • Powerful Legislative Advocacy
  • Critical News & Information
  • Annual Conference & Education Workshops
  • Professional Development Opportunities
  • Recognition & Awards
  • Consumer Discounts & Benefits
Teacher assistants play an important role in “lightening the load” of teachers, relieving stress, which can help decrease teacher turnover. Instructional differentiation becomes more effective by using a teacher assistant to work with smaller groups of students. Plus, teacher assistants help students learn skills needed to bring them up to grade level by providing direct or remedial instruction with programs such as Reading Mastery, Corrective Reading, the Open Court Intervention Guide, and the math curriculum.
