Summary

ORGANIZATIONAL DESCRIPTION New Millennium Academy (NMA) is a Hmong charter school whose mission is to prepare learners for life, engages them in high academic achievement and fosters cultural pride and identity. NMA’s vision is to develop global leaders who transform the world.

Description

The Educational Assistant (EA) plays an integral role in supporting learning and achievement. EAs use innovative strategies to work directly with individuals and/or groups of students. EAs tutor, support, administer/proctor tests, manage behavior, and facilitate learning. EAs ensure that teachers receive support when working with students.

 

EAs must demonstrate a strong work ethic, have integrity, and be accountable to their actions.  EAs align themselves with NMA’s core principles and understand the unique challenges of an immigrant and refugee community.  A successful EA will have experience in a high-performing fast-paced environment.
