Mathematics Education Laboratory Attendant
Job Description and Duties
1. Open the math education lab promptly at the assigned times. Oversee
student use
of the lab and materials. (If you will be late or ill, call the
Mathematics office
at 815/753-0566 and someone will post a note on the lab door to inform
students.)
2. Learn how to correctly use, clean, repair the Accu-Cut and Ellison
Die-Cut machines
by watching the videos. Demonstrate the correct use of the machine to
students.
Make sure students use the machines correctly and clean up after their use.
3. Assist students in finding the materials, books and resources of the
math ed lab.
Students may borrow books to photocopy if they leave their student ID with
you and
return the material within a few minutes. Materials are not allowed to be
checked
out overnight as this may conflict with other instructors' use of
materials. (Only faculty
may check out material out of the lab by signing out the material on the
clipboard
in the back of DU 304B.)
5. Keep the math ed lab clean and neat. Periodically empty the paper
recycling box
in one of the large blue recycling bins on the first floor. Trade the
aluminum can
box when full with an empty one at the end of the hallway. If the floor
needs to
be cleaned, leave a note taped to the trash can for the night custodians.
6. Make sure all materials are back in their correct place when leaving
the lab.
Lock the calculator cabinet. Make certain all computers and printers are
turned
off and their covers are replaced. Lock both doors to the lab and turn off
the lights
when lab hours are over. Do not leave students in the lab unattended --
ask them to leave
and wait outside for their instructor.
7. Assist math ed faculty members with their projects as requested.
8. Keep inventories of materials of the mathematics education lab. Mark
new materials
with math ed lab identification.
9. Perform various assigned duties by the math ed lab coordinator as
needed. Keep
in contact with the math ed lab coordinator about needed materials,
problems, suggestions.
10. Please remember that you are not to do work for students, but to assist
them in
their learning.

office.
