Be the Difference, Daily
Choosing a career at Erie’s only nationally designated School of Excellence, Elizabeth Lee Black School at Barber National Institute, teacher assistants are part of a community driven by compassion, teamwork, and the belief that educators transform lives. Our teacher assistants come to work excited to make a difference, daily! Their commitment to our mission is what makes the Elizabeth Lee Black School a special place.
Every day brings a chance to positively impact a student’s life, to witness their triumphs, and support them through their challenges.
Our approach is deeply rooted in teamwork and a student-centered philosophy. Our smaller classroom sizes allow our teacher assistants to focus on the student’s individual learning journey.
At the Elizabeth Lee Black School, we believe in the power of community. No matter the situation, our staff can find support right down the hall. Our comprehensive, school-based support system includes: behavior specialists, speech, physical, and occupational therapists, and nursing staff.
With the latest technology in every classroom, a world of opportunities awaits each student. Smart TVs, virtual reality headsets, and interactive play equipment engage students with video and audio learning. iPads and other adaptive equipment are an integral part of our tech ecosystem, helping break down barriers to allow more accessible learning.
We believe in investing- not only in our children - but in you so that you can have the tools and resources you need to excel in your role. By nurturing you, we are in turn nurturing the potential of every child we serve.
