There are many different names and acronyms for these amazing
classroom practitioners: teaching assistants (TAs), learning
support assistants (LSAs), cover supervisors, supply teachers,
student mentors, higher level teaching assistants (HLTAs), learning
partners the list goes on. The title doesn't matter but the quality
of support, interaction and learning does. Whether you work
one-to-one with individual children, support small groups or work
with a whole class and whether you work in a primary, secondary or
special setting this book is packed with ideas to enhance your
practice so you can best support children's learning, while looking
out for your own well-being and enjoying your role. You can dip in
for top tips, anecdotes, practical strategies and advice on every
aspect of the role, as well as have a chuckle as you go. For
example, did you know there is a patron saint for just about
everything? There is even a patron saint of failures, Birgitta of
Sweden, who presumably failed to impress Ofsted on more than one
occasion. If you scour the list you'll find that every occupation
has a nominated guardian looking after their well-being. That is,
except one classroom assistants. So, if there's nobody 'up there'
cheering you on, you might need to find the resources within
yourself and Andy, Chris and Gary can help. Because, let's face it,
working with youngsters isn't for the fainthearted is it? What do
you do if you are sworn at? How do you engage a reluctant learner?
What about safeguarding? How do you support children with SEND? How
do you handle a challenging parent? How can you develop your career
further? These topics, and a whole raft more, are woven into this
book which will set you on the road to brilliance! It doesn't
matter whether it's inspiration or new ideas you want - this book
has a plethora of both. It may challenge your thinking, it may
persuade you to do something different, and above all it will put
you in serious danger of being brilliant at what you do. There's
nothing more important or vital than the education and development
of our youngsters: the mission of the Art of Being Brilliant series
is to help all educators unlock their brilliance. The Art of Being
Brilliant series was a finalist in the 2017 Education Resources
Awards in the Educational Book Award category.
