Teaching Assistant Review

Teaching Assistant in KS1 in the mornings delivering phonics groups independently before helping in class with English and Math. Then help others and Nurture practitioner in the afternoons.

Yes, I have learn a lot more about safe guarding, curriculum and the importance of ensuring all evidence is documented and passed onto the relevant people.

I enjoyed a vast majority of the program however felt the off the job hours to be confusing when working full time as to what I could use towards these hours. Also the website was not very user friendly.

Not overly. No tutor in the beginning and no one to contact as to who to ask for assistance or how to go about starting the course which left me playing catch up. Once tutor given she was exceptional.

Some, Very small school with staffing difficulties due to sickness this year led to any study time being taken up by being needed in class. However always available if I had questions or needed support.

Some, I feel it would have been beneficial to have had more webinars current to the topics being assessed available to the trainee. Often had to email tutor for further clarification.

Understanding the importance of what each section we were assessed on really helped me in the classroom to understand why some sessions were delivered in certain ways or the importance of safeguarding and our role in that.

Yes, however with 2 small children I can sometimes find childcare difficult to attend these.

Yes

My tutor was absolutely incredible. Always on hand for support or information.

Bare with the website smart assessor and the initial niggles getting set up. Ask tutor questions and things will become clear.
