Research shows that while Teaching Assistants help with pupil engagement there is very often no positive impact on pupils’ attainment. To be sure that you get best value from your Teaching Assistants’ contributions why not book a place for a member of your support staff on our ‘Reading Classroom Learning’ workshop so that they get practical help with: Ø Making the most of lesson planningØ Knowing when to hold back and when to interveneØ Understanding why and how collaboration works for pupilsØ Spotting and using different kinds of talkØ Being good at being coached and contributing to other people’s learning Follow the link to book a place http://www.curee.co.uk/node/2464 Or why not contact us to find out about running the workshop in-house?
