This jargon-free book has been specially written for teaching assistants
taking up posts in primary schools working at NVQ Level 2 and 3 of the
National Occupational Standards of Teaching Assistants. It covers every
area of primary education, including:
- an overview of primary education
- the qualities, knowledge and skills needed
- the curriculum
- managing behaviour
- evaluation and record-keeping
- professional development.
Joan Dean knows primary education inside out and is well known in the
field. She uses case studies based on real life scenarios to provide a
detailed yet accessible book, making it essential reading for teaching
assistants. This guide will also offer support and advice to staff
working with teaching assistants and to those who provide their
training.
