Classroom assistants work with the lead teacher to prepare and maintain an orderly, attractive, and joyful environment. They provide another pair of observant, attentive eyes and ears. Classroom assistants are also crucial in modeling courteous and respectful behavior. They contribute to maintenance of the supportive, creative, busy and purposeful atmosphere that is indicative of a traditional Montessori classroom.
