Frequently asked questions
Looking for a rewarding career investing in children's lives? You can reach your goals by starting a career as a teacher assistant. Glassdoor can help you find the ideal teacher assistant job where you can thrive. Entry-level teacher assistant positions and those at child care facilities often only require a high school diploma. More specialized positions, such as a special education teacher assistant, sometimes require certification or an associate's degree.
For more scheduling flexibility, find remote teacher assistant jobs, or search for local part-time teacher assistant positions by entering your city and selecting "part-time" as the job type.
After finding jobs that interest you, prepare for interviews by studying the top interview questions for teacher assistants. Formulate your answers and practice delivering them to increase the chances of landing your ideal position.
When searching for a well-paying teacher assistant job, be aware of the average compensation in your area. To find a high-paying teacher assistant job:
- Research average teacher assistant job salaries near you. Average salary varies significantly by city and institution. Glassdoor can help you determine the average salary for teacher assistants at public and private schools near you.
- Consider your experience and certification level in determining your potential salary. Public school salary schedules often include increased pay for applicants with a bachelor's degree or for certified educators working as teacher assistants. Although public school salary schedules are often non-negotiable, you can leverage your experience and certification to negotiate higher pay at a private school or a higher education institution.
- Create a list of what sets you apart from other applicants to increase your chances of landing a teacher assistant job. Experience working with kids, an advanced degree, or medical training — such as CPR certification — can put your application at the top of the list.
Consider benefits packages and other job perks in your teacher assistant job search. In addition to your desired salary:
- Research the school or company's benefits to determine the health and retirement benefits for the position you want. Benefits vary at different schools.
- Consider any unique perks that may come with the job. For example, as a teacher assistant at a child care facility, you may receive free or reduced child care costs for your children. Public school teacher assistants may receive complimentary tickets to sporting events or local attractions.
- Factor the number of PTO days and sick leave policy for each position into your decision as well.
