"There are more than 200,000 teaching assistants (TAs) in the UK. This book deals with how to make use of them effectively. The book investigates: the roles of leadership and management; the various roles of TAs and what distinguishes them from other support staff; the whole-school learning environment; the needs of the school and the needs of the TAs; good practices in appointing and developing TAs - offering examples and outlining the technicalities; the uses of a TA in a classroom - giving guidance for teachers; and methodologies for leading a team of TAs."--Jacket.
