Aimed at teaching assistants who work closely with children with special educational needs, The Effective Teaching Assistant: A Practical Guide to Supporting Achievement for Pupils with SEND is a practical and accessible resource tailored precisely for teaching assistants’ specific needs, which explores both the opportunities and limitations presented by their role.
Each chapter provides both training activities and teaching resources designed to assist TAs/HLTAs in reflecting on their own experience while enhancing current practice. The chapters address key topics including
- SEND and inclusive teaching
- Multi-sensory teaching
- Supporting differentiation or adaptive teaching.
Supplemented with checklists and useful diagrams, this text is essential reading for teaching assistants, students and practitioners. It is particularly relevant for students working in undergraduate, post graduate and professional development programmes.
"A most helpful text for assistants who so often feel that they carry the responsibility for developing the skills and learning abilities of children with the greatest needs, yet lack the training to do so effectively." - Dr Lindsey Peer, CBE, Peer Gordon Associates
"This is a comprehensive, practical must-have book for any teaching assistant working with children with SEND." - Lorraine Petersen, Educational Consultant
"Immediately useful therefore and long overdue…I can think of no better recommendation than that it comes from practitioners and for no more deserving group of youngsters. [A]core text for TAs who provide such vital support work for our children." - Dr Elizabeth Sidwell CBE, BSC(Hons), PGCE, FRSA, FRGS, Schools Commissioner for England (DFE 2011-13)
