Description
- We have a strong history of best-selling books for Teaching Assistants (TAs) and Learning Support Assistants (LSAs)
- It’s a challenge for schools to manage the professional development of TAs and LSA due to working contracts and funding.
- TAs and LSAs tend to attend very little training. This book will support professional development for TAs and LSAs and provide a framework for teachers to support their TAs and LSAs through reflections, case studies and practical activities.
- Rich in pedagogical features: includes chapter objectives, a reflect and revisit section, boxes linking to the Teaching Assistant Standards and questions for reflection exercises within each chapter.
- Each chapter will have a ‘further reading’ section which will include direction to journal articles, websites and relevant charities and organisations, and support and development for TAs and LSAs
