Back Cover

The ways in which schools are staffed, and the deployment of those staff members, is changing. Along with workforce remodelling and a new professionalism in schools has come a range of support roles designed to enable teachers to deliver as effective an education as possible. Teaching Assistants (TAs) are key in this development and with their growing responsibilities and a clear career path come inevitable questions about how best to deliver that support to teachers and create the most efficient and effective working relationships. FAQs for TAs takes genuine questions and concerns of both new and established TAs and offers practical advice and solutions. From the very first chapter, which explores the role of the TA in schools and what the job entails, right through to the last, which looks at all the latest hot education topics that TAs need to be familiar with, this book has every base covered.Organised into logical sections the book covers issues such as: finding and applying for jobs how to be successful at interview plotting a career path relationship building with pupils, parents and colleagues managing and supporting pupils' behaviour.
