Teaching Assistant - Aspiring TeacherGraduate Teaching Assistant
The Question:
Would you like to gain experience in the classroom? Are you looking at a career in teaching?
The Focus:
Teaching assistants support teachers and help children with their educational and social development, both in and out of the classroom. In secondary schools, teaching assistants are often known as learning support assistants.
What's Involved:
The roles and responsibilities of teaching assistants are varied and differ between schools. Your job can include:
getting the classroom ready for lessons listening to children read, reading to them or telling them stories helping children who need extra support to complete tasks helping teachers to plan learning activities and complete records supporting teachers in managing class behaviour supervising group activities looking after children who are upset or have had accidents clearing away materials and equipment after lessons helping with outings and sports events taking part in training carrying out administrative tasksTo support pupils with particular individual needs, some teaching assistants work one-to-one, while others work in small groups. Many schools employ teaching assistants with particular specialisms, including literacy, numeracy, special educational needs (SEN), music and creative arts. If you are bilingual, you might do more work with children whose first language is not English.
Experienced and specially-trained teaching assistants can be expected to supervise a class for a teacher who is off sick or undertaking training. While every class must be allocated a qualified teacher, higher level teaching assistants (HLTAs) would be expected occasionally to lead a lesson.
