This book covers all mandatory and optional units, providing everything teaching assistants need to know in easy-to-read language. It includes new illustrations, photographs and case studies relevant to those working in secondary schools. It covers guidelines and advice for assistants supporting children with English as a second language. It is packed with activities to help readers to build evidence for their portfolio, with clear referencing to the standards to help them organise their work. It has links between the CACHE level 3 Certificate for Teaching Assistants (CTA3) and the National Occupational Standards (NVQ). It is reviewed by an expert on Scottish education to ensure full applicability to the SVQ.
This practical handbook contains information for candidates on the NVQ Teaching Assistants course or practitioners working alongside classroom teachers. It explores all the aspects of establishing relationships with children, supporting learning activities and managing behaviour. It should be valuable for students taking courses leading to teaching assistant awards, particularly the S/NVQ at level 3. "Keys to good practice" sections help develop candidates' skills for working with children in class, and interesting case studies check their understanding and relate learning to real-life situations. End-of-unit tests reinforce what has been covered in each area of the book and give students more confidence in their knowledge.
