Do you have a study hall or two that you could careless for? Ever wondered what it would be like to work alongside one of your favorite teachers? Then the Panther Educational Assistant Program, which is commonly known as Teacher Assisting (TA), may be for you!

TAing gives students the opportunity to work closely with teachers and other personnel here at WUHS. Although the program is offered to only Juniors and Seniors, exceptions are made for freshman and sophomores if they are approved by the administration.  There are four catagories in which you can apply for: Peer tutoring, office assistance, IT assistance, and teacher assistance.

Each job comes with it’s own set of duties and responsibilities. You also earn parts of a credit through these jobs. They are as follows:

• Peer Tutoring: 1/2 credit per semester. Enrollment into this program requires a teacher and school counselor approval.The duties for this job are self explanatory.
• Office Assistant: 1/4 credit per semester. This job includes working in the student services office (Guidance) and the main office (Attendance). Duties for this job are: sorting mail, answering phones, filing, sorting, running messages to classrooms, etc. This position requires office personnel and school counselor approval.

• Teacher Assistant: 1/4 credit per semester. This job consists of working under teachers in the following departments: P.E., Tech Ed., Family and Consumer Education, Band, School Store, and any other lab based classes.

• IT Assistant: 1/4 credit per semester. Duties for this job consist of pc repairs and set up, tracking AV equipment, etc. This position requires approval from the IT department.

*Becoming a TA is that these jobs look good on a college application and raises your level of work experience in the eyes of future employers.

In order to be sign up for these jobs, students must be on course to graduate with their graduating class and 11 credits after Sophomore year or 17 credits after Junior year.

Applications for the program are located in the Guidance office. They must be filled out and turned in within the first 10 days of each semester. Sadly, the due date for this semester has already passed. But be sure to sign up next year panthers!
