Teaching Assistant Level 3

Teaching Assistants work in primary, special and secondary education across all age ranges encompassing special educational needs and emotional vulnerabilities. The primary role of the Teaching Assistant is to support the class teacher to enhance pupils’ learning either in groups or individually, ensuring pupils understand the work set, know their learning objectives and stay on task in order to make progress. Promoting self-belief, social inclusion and high self-esteem play an integral part of pupils’ well-being; ensuring pupils thrive in a positive, nurturing, safe environment. Teaching Assistants are good role models and act with honesty and integrity.
