Learning associate duties include the following:

• Help teachers prepare for lessons by getting materials ready or setting up equipment, etc.
• Help supervise students when needed (in class, between classes, during lunch and recess, and on field trips)

While the learning associate is assigned to a designated teacher for instructional purposes, a learning associate may have other duties including substituting in other classrooms or assisting with assigned tasks. 

The learning associate is under the supervision or a certified teacher. The teacher is responsible for assigning tasks and communicating expectations clearly. While all employees are equal as individuals, the expectations and responsibilities differ in the teacher and learning associate roles.
