Teaching Assistant Review

Educating Special Ed, where I’m able to inspire and contribute towards students academic success. Learning new teaching methods, theories and factual information and slowly becoming a professional within my chosen career. Meetings and trainings can be challenging but they were able to work around it in order to provide me with the training I need.

I’ve developed many skills within my time on the apprenticeship, I’ve seen myself grow and mature during my time on the apprenticeship.

When I was at school, I was never the best and brightest student. Where within the programme I’ve gained more knowledge and developed so many new skills that I will later need in life. It opened my eyes to a whole new different outlook on education.

The reason behind this was due to the delay of education that was provided meaning it took longer than expected to receive the training. Whereas other apprentices in working with I started before are flying ahead.

During challenging times with my mental health, my employers reached out to me concerned and supportive, with ways they’re able to support and help towards getting me through the apprenticeship and keeping me safe.

There was moments where it would get extremely annoying with the delayed training and emails but when I had questions regarding the training I’m doing they answered it in the best way they could.

They helped me with strategies and techniques on educating students with delayed cognitive abilities.

We have Staff events where we go out and collaborate as a team with people we don’t know where we can learn and have a laugh.

Yes

Because of the amount of maturity and how relaxed they all are, and how they treat you like an adult you are.

They can relaxed and would do anything to help but it’s not a 1 way street it runs both ways. Meaning in order to get the qualification and extreme support you need to put the effort in.
