Synopsis
Schools now have far more “paraprofessionals”:
adults who, whilst not
being qualified teachers with
Qualified Teacher Status,
nevertheless play a vital role in
enhancing the learning of individual
pupils, or groups of pupils, within the
classroom. The role is fundamentally
different from that of the teacher and
requires particular and subtle skills if
it is to be carried out to maximise
learning. It is often difficult enough
for teachers to deal effectively with
pupils. For adults working within
schools who do not have the “clout”
of teacher status it can sometimes
seem to be almost impossible.
This practical training course is
designed specifically for TAs,
Assistant Teachers, Integration
Assistants and LSAs who have
limited experience of working with
students in schools.
