* Classroom management: In a classroom setting, the TIC is the primary teacher responsible for instruction, discipline, and overall classroom organization.
* Supervision: The TIC might be in charge of supervising students during a specific activity (like a field trip, lunch break, or extracurricular event) or in a specific area (like a library or playground).
* Administrative tasks: This could include taking attendance, submitting grades, communicating with parents, ordering supplies, and coordinating with other staff.
* Temporary responsibility: Sometimes a TIC is assigned temporarily while the usual teacher is absent.
Essentially, the TIC is the point person for a specific group or activity, responsible for its smooth and safe operation.
