A Comprehensive Guide to being a Modern Teaching Assistant

Do you want to be an outstanding Teaching Assistant/1:1 and stand out from the crowd? Do you want to have a range of strategies up your sleeve to confidently manage complex and often challenging behavior? Do you need to be able to confidently assess need, plan and deliver bespoke nurturing style sessions and prove impact? Would it be really helpful to be able to write your own social stories? This one stop guide contains 15 years of tried and tested strategies, many of these strategies have been used in a specialist SEMH setting and have proved effective time and time again. The role of TA has changed immensely over the last couple of years. Support staff are now held accountable for not only planning and delivering many interventions but also proving impact. This book covers everything that I needed to know and much more! I have worked in Education for over 15 years as a Lecturer in college, I delivered the alternative curriculum at KS4, I was a specialist ATA for children with SEMH difficulties, HLTA and also a LSCO. I totally understand the challenges that school staff face and hope that this book gives you lots of new ideas to implement within your setting. xx
