Virtual Introduction to the Special Education Teaching Assistant Role

​A one-day course designed to help new Teaching Assistants with limited relevant experience understand essential classroom approaches and strategies for SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) provisions.

• Safer Working Practices

• SEND Teaching Assistant Role Definition

• Removing Barriers to Learning

• Expectations, Assertiveness & Behaviour Management in SEND Provisions

• Summary

This course must be completed before inexperienced SEND TAs are placed, in line with compliance guidance.

If you are unable to fully attend from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., please rebook for a time when you are available and can participate throughout.
