Reviews

'This book is up to date and relevant to the work of a teaching assistant. It provides the background to current legislation as well as lots of practical information. It is clearly laid out and easy to read or to use as a reference book. It provides information on how children learn and how teaching assistants can support learning and promote well being.' - Customer Review on Amazon 'Some schools cannot afford the time to induct TAs fully in all aspects of legislation so this book is an excellent guide. It also demonstrates how the national occupational standards of the Supporting Teaching and Learning NVQ sits within the principles of Every Child Matters. A very useful and easy book to have as a staff resource.' - Customer Review on Amazon
