Teachers assistant rate. How much do TA's make?
Asked by race1983
whats the expectant salary of a teachers assistant in Chicago? i just received a job as a teacher's assistant at a preschool but the school hasnt given me a salary rate yet? do a teachers assistant need to set up a lesson plan usually?

Best Answer:
I'm a teacher's assistant in Pennsylvania...small town. So I'm unsure if the salary is similar to in Chicago, but it's about $25,000/year. (That's working only 180 days.) I don't have to create the lesson plan, however I do help in planning along with the teacher...and do a lot of prep work for the lessons as well. It's a great job-- I love it! I hope you will also. Here is a the US Dept. of Labor website....gives you some more description of the job in general: http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos153.htm

wow thats good PA! the ones where i work make about $8.50 a hour for 7.5 hours/ day ( im in colorado ) thats for 180 days as well.
