Autor Paula Bosanquet, Julie Radford, Rob Websteren Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 iul 2026
Updated to include the latest research evidence and reflect the current educational context and varied roles that teaching assistants undertake, this highly practical and accessible book sets out a role for teaching assistants that focuses on developing pupils' independence and ownership of learning. Based on an extensively classroom-tested framework and covering the main contexts in which teaching assistants work, it includes practical strategies and reflective activities to help teaching assistants improve the support they provide to pupils in everyday settings. It sets out successful strategies for: responding to additional needs; understanding the principles behind effective classroom talk; carefully scaffolding pupils' learning; and delivering intervention programmes.
Used in combination with the authors’ book for school leaders, Maximising the Impact of Teaching Assistants in Primary Schools, this provides a comprehensive and unrivalled resource for supporting school workforce development.
This essential read is designed for all teaching assistants and will also be of interest to school leaders, SENCOs and teachers in both primary and secondary schools who wish to improve their deployment of teaching assistants and their own interactions with pupils.
