Course description
So what exactly is a teaching assistant? Some TAs provide more general assistance, while others specialise in certain areas of education, such as literacy, numeracy, music, specific learning needs, disability support, English as a second language, or behaviour. Classroom assistants can be found in schools for Early Years right through to secondary, and the number of TAs in one school can vary widely depending on necessity and amount of funding provided.
