WHAT YOU WILL DO
As an Instructional Assistant (IA), you are the critical bridge between the Lead Instructor and the learners. You will support the delivery of a rigorous Data Engineering curriculum while ensuring student success through tutoring, grading, and classroom management.
Instructional Support & Tutoring
- Lab Facilitation: actively circulate (virtually or physically) during hands-on labs to help learners troubleshoot code in Python, SQL, and Linux environments.
- Targeted Tutoring: Lead instructor-approved study groups and provide one-on-one tutoring for learners struggling with specific concepts (e.g., ETL pipelines, DataFrames).
- Substitute Teaching: Be prepared to step in and lead a lesson, review session, or proctor an exam in the event of a short-term instructor absence.
- AI Integration: Model the use of Google Gemini to help students debug their own code, ensuring they understand the logic rather than just copying answers.
Learner Management & Administration
- Progress Tracking: Implement individualized study plans for at-risk learners and collaborate with the detailed learner progress reviews.
- Administrative Duties: Take and track daily attendance and enter real-time grades in Salesforce and Canvas.
- Platform Management: Assist in setting up HackerRank
