Tips and advice

Be prepared

Make sure you understand what is being taught and the purpose of the lesson or task for which you are supporting the pupil. You must ensure that you are able to use language and methods consistent with that of the teacher so that you don’t confuse them. Use this same terminology when reporting back to a teacher on the progress of the pupil.
