COURSES FOR TEACHING ASSISTANTS, SUPPORT FOR LEARNING & CARE STAFF

Teaching assistants, support for learning and care staff are welcome to attend any of the courses in the brochure where organisers think it is appropriate. We can adapt some of our courses for delivery to teaching assistants exclusively. Our highly successful generic course for teaching assistants is described below.

LEARNING BEYOND OUR LIMITS

YOUR CLASSROOM PRESENCE

This course is designed to help teaching assistants and/or support staff to reflect on what we know about learning and how that should influence their day-to-day practice in the classroom. Participants will learn:

• how motivation works
• the value of recognising multiple intelligences
• to use appropriate communication and feedback skills
