Teaching Assistant

All staff working in the education sector appreciate that every child develops differently. It's absolutely vital that we understand and acknowledge that every child requires different support in order to succeed in their education and life. With that being said, teachers are under a lot of pressure to provide personalised teaching to suit the needs of every child, therefore are in need of their own heroes. This is where teaching assistants come to the rescue
- 'Behind a good teacher is a great teaching assistant'_

Teaching assistants have the joy to be able to support those that need additional help and guidance in whatever field that may be, starting from working on counting, mark making, or even reading skills. You will be the one to provide the extra support that the child needs in order to develop and grow, and you get to be the one to see them succeed

As a teaching assistant you also get to assist the teacher with the planning of the future lessons without the need or responsibility of doing any paperwork that the teacher is responsible for. You get to share the ideas, observations and input before implementing it with the teacher You get to work closely with the teacher and gain the essential experience and knowledge of what it takes to be able to lead a class of children - which you may use in the future if you're pursuing a teaching qualification Having worked with children in smaller group you will be able to learn so much about them in order to provide the essential knowledge or observation that the teacher may simply not be able to see themselves Team work makes the dream work after all

Another amazing advantage of working as a teaching assistant is that you actually get to build that close and safe relationship with the children that they desperately need in order for their learning and development to be enabled. You will be the one to comfort them when they're upset or the one that supports them when they're not able to solve a disagreement with their peers.

Most importantly, teaching assistants can make the learning FUN It is YOUR job to work with the teacher to make activities fun and enjoyable to help the children achieve their best potential
