This text provides the underpinning knowledge to support teaching assistants in all phases of schooling when undertaking study at an advanced level.

The book: actively engages the reader in activities, developing reflective practice while giving the theoretical background to school based work; gives insight and information about pupils' individual needs, curriculum based skills and the teaching skills which will enable the reader to support pupils' teachers and the curriculum more effectively; enables TAs to operate more independently, using their knowledge and initiative, whilst developing their practice in partnership with class teachers; and emphasizes that TAs are team members, supporting the school and being supported by the school.
