  • To support TA’s and LSW’s when helping students develop their literacy and numeracy skills.

Support Teachers:

  • Provide effective support for colleagues by maintaining positive working relationships. This includes monitoring and promoting the quality of relationships between TAs & students and TAs & education team.
  • Assist the teacher in organising the learning environment, preparing resources and delivering learning activities.
  • Support the delivery of the curriculum by taking responsibility for working with groups or individuals, in a range of subjects and situations, under the direction and guidance of the teacher or instructor.
  • To observe student performance, contribute to reports and maintain records as required, ensuring that confidentiality is maintained.
  • Contribute to the planning and evaluation of learning activities and progress.
  • To support the use of information and communication technology in the classroom.
