Working With TAs - Secondary - TA for a Day
This programme follows the progress of an experienced English teacher as she spends one day working as a teaching assistant.
Sarah Powell of Tanbridge House School in Horsham regularly works with a TA in her class but feels that she could get more from the relationship.
In order to discover more, Sarah spends a day working as a TA at local East Sussex school, Bexhill High, learning first-hand about the methods used to ensure teachers and TAs work together effectively.
Sarah's experience provides a valuable insight into the role of the TA and offers some great ideas on how to make their relationship with teachers as effective as possible.

Good Practise!!!12 May 2008 - 15:49Very illustrative of good practise for effective use of TA's in the classroom. The idea of planning sessions sounds great and will be a suggestion i make very soon. I have experience of the attachment of TA to an area of learning/faculty and it does work well but the effectiveness has been limited by the lack of time for communication.
Overall a good video with some interesting points, providing clarity on the evolving relationship between teachers and support staff in the classroom.
