Product Description

The extensively illustrated book is aimed at teaching assistants in primary and secondary schools in the UK but will be relevant to those working overseas. It starts by focusing on the position of the TA within a school and identifies the personnel, policies, procedures and practices to look for in an induction programme. Subsequent sections deal with how to work in partnership with classroom teachers, SENCOs, pastoral managers and curriculum leaders; recording, reporting and evaluating; SEN, learning styles, behaviour issues and strategies for overcoming barriers to learning. The nuts and bolts of child protection, contracts of employment, where to get support and how to further your career are all helpfully covered.
