It requires a range of stakeholders for a school or college to achieve the aim of enabling its young people to learn, grow and succeed. A vital component of this team, instrumental to its success, are our classroom assistants. ‘Teaching assistants can provide a large positive impact on learner outcomes, however, how they are deployed is key.’ (Education Endowment Foundation)
‘Given this research, surely providing professional development for teaching assistants is an invaluable investment and ‘…can be a cost-effective approach to improving learner outcomes…’ (Education Endowment Foundation)? After all: ‘A teaching assistant’s role is to support the learning of all children. In order to do this, they, like any educator, need to have a good understanding of how children learn.’ (UKEssays, November 2018.)
These courses are research based, and provide lots of strategies and resources to help classroom assistants enhance the effectiveness of their role in steering and guiding the learning of all students. Classroom assistants should leave these sessions feeling confident, enabled and empowered to support and supplement the high-quality learning and teaching across the curriculum.

All courses can be delivered as half or full day sessions. They can also be grouped together to make a programme of development.
