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.
