Primary Purpose Reach associates are advanced paraprofessionals who support Multi‑Classroom Leaders (MCLs) on opportunity culture campuses. MCLs give heavy guidance on lessons; they work closely with the teacher to complete various tasks, including classroom support with students and non‑instructional paperwork. They manage procedures and supervise student behavior during transitions, lunch, recess, assemblies, and other unstructured activities while the teacher(s) deliver instruction. In some schools they aid instruction by supervising time on projects, skills practice, and digital learning labs or by working with students in small groups or individually. The multi‑classroom leader or team teachers direct all activities.
