Role of TA in the Level Up Program
The role of a TA in the program is to be an assistant in the classroom environment, but more specifically they provide extra supports for struggling students, and extra pushes for students ready for extension. Oftentimes educators are challenged with the responsibility of supporting all students, leaving them to be overlooked, so to combat the disparities, TAs are here to close that gap effectively.

Do you know what it isTo stand, shaking inside,Feeling out of place?To feel mind and soul fightingTooth and nail Over what will emerge from your mouth?Do you know what it isTo know with such certainty that I can not do this,But still there is a part of you that thinks…Maybe?
Being a leader is not living without fear Of who you areOf what you will say.It is standing with your eyes up, back straight Voice sure, certain, demanding.It is knowing that there isShy and scared and nervous,But there is also a next step.And then another.Whether or not I am Shy, scared, nervous,People are watching, people are waiting,And I will step up.
