Your number one job for this position is to assist the teacher. Chances are, your job exists because the teacher already has an idea of what she wants or needs out of an assistant. Before starting the position, or during your first few days, take notes on what is expected from you. Determine early on what your primary responsibilities will be for the position. Will you mainly be helping a few students who need special support? Will you be working behind the scenes, making photocopies and grading papers? Or will you be taking over entire classes for the teacher? If you have questions about anything the teacher describes, ask earlier rather than later. You'll be able to best assist the students if you know what they are learning as well as when and how they are learning it. Just because you have already taken the class that you'll be assisting with, doesn't mean you automatically know all about it from a teacher's perspective. Read the teacher's lesson plans, curriculum books, syllabus, etc. Part of the responsibilities of a teacher are the day-to-day monitoring of student progress. You can be a huge help to the teacher by sharing in these responsibilities. Make a tracking sheet with each students' name with columns of boxes so you can check off who brings their homework on time. After grading papers, offer to enter the grades into the computer grading system for the teacher. Or, keep a paper record of the grades on paper to give to them to enter. Some public districts may have rules about who can communicate with parents, but if you are authorized to make parent phone calls, it can be a huge help to the teacher. Be sure to keep calls professional. If you are dealing with behavior problems from the student, be sure to include highlights of things the child does well along with your reports of the problem behavior. No parent wants to hear only negative things about their child; giving only negative reports will decrease the amount of support and cooperation you get from the parent. Something that can be very helpful for a teacher is to run to the copy machine or to the office during class. An adult needs to remain with the students at all times, so if the teacher realizes she didn't make enough copies for that day's lesson, after class has already started, it can be quite stressful. You can help in this situation by going out and making the needed amount of copies for her. Teachers often have a calendar posted in the classroom that outlines important student dates and events for that month. You can assist in the sometimes monotonous task of filling in that calendar by offering to complete it for her. You'll need to have a grasp on school events and regular classroom procedures before being able to do this. Bathroom emergencies and last minute meetings can happen for teachers. The school district where you work may have rules about who may stay with students for an extended period of time, but most will allow for a teaching assistant to stay with students for 10 minutes or less. Make the teacher aware that you are available as needed for this responsibility. Sometimes students may have a particular issue going on that requires them to spend extra time out of class or in the office. Some students may not be allowed to walk the halls during class without adult supervision. Other times, a student's IEP (Individualized Education Plan) requires that they have occasional breaks from the room. Ask the teacher if you can be of assistance by remaining with these students and walking with them where they need to go while she is teaching.

Summary: Listen to the teacher's needs. Familiarize yourself with the curriculum. Offer to check for homework and grade papers. Ask if you can help communicate with parents. Offer to run errands for the teacher. Ask to help with the schedule/calendar. Offer to watch students while the teacher steps out. Ask if you can help with special discipline cases.

Use a soft brush extension and a low power setting when running the vacuum over memory foam. Clean as much extra debris as possible to keep it from getting ground into the mattress when you clean. In a spray bottle, combine 4 fluid ounces (120mL) of laundry detergent and 8 fluid ounces (240mL) of cool water. Shake well and make sure that the two ingredients are fully mixed before spraying. Spray the stain and gently soak up the liquid with a towel. Keep repeating this until the stain disappears. Since you may not be able to completely remove all of the detergent, make sure to use a gentler, unscented formula. Look for detergents labeled "hypoallergenic." Mix together 1 part baking soda and 2 parts water until it forms a milky white liquid. Work the solution into the stain using circular hand movements and leave it to soak for half an hour. Use a slightly damp cloth to remove the solution. Soak up any remaining liquid with a bath towel. Set the memory foam product in a bright, open space to dry before using it. Make sure it is completely dry to reduce the risk of mold and mildew. Direct sunlight will help dry the foam more quickly and dispel odors. Some stains may need several rounds of washing to fully disappear. Let the mattress fully dry after each time you use the detergent solution followed by the baking soda paste.
Summary: Vacuum first to remove dust, hair, and lint. Spray the stained area with a laundry detergent and water solution, then blot. Soak stubborn stains with a baking soda solution. Let the memory foam dry completely. Repeat the process if the stain is stubborn.
