You need to be able to have patience, work and commu- nicate with students and try to handle problems in a reasonable way. Many stu- dents don't realize how hard it really can be teaching students. l teach two bilingual students. At times, l find teaching them to be frustrating since they can't understand English very well. I try to keep my patience with them and help them out in any way I can. I find teaching rewarding and l really love it. Many of the TAK aides said that this program was a super one that had helped them to become better at teaching and find out what the duties and responsibili- ties of a teacher were. TAK aides teach Monday through Thursday at nearby elementaries and Round Rock Middle School. On Friday the TAK aides attended a seminar class with Mrs. Joan Hall, TAK supervisor for the club. upcoming activities, tw!! Upper left: One, two, three, twenty dollars.
