Teaching assistants are an integral part of classroom life, yet
pioneering research by the authors has shown schools are not making
the most of this valued resource. Evidence shows the more support
pupils receive from TAs, the less academic progress they made. Yet
the reason for this has little to do with TAs. It is decisions made
about them by school leaders and teachers that best explain this
provocative finding. The fully updated second edition of this book
draws on the experiences of schools that have put this guidance
into action via the Maximising the Impact of Teaching Assistants
programme. Revised to reflect the latest research evidence and
changes within education, including the 2014 SEND Code of Practice,
this book will help school leaders and teachers in primary and
secondary settings to rethink the role, purpose and contribution of
TAs, and add real value to what can be achieved in classrooms.
Setting out a field-tested process, structured around a coherent
and empirically sound conceptual framework, this book: helps school
leaders review, reform and reenergise their TA workforce provides
practical strategies to implement in the classroom illustrates key
points with new case studies provides photocopiable templates and
resources to support decision-making and action. Maximising the
Impact of Teaching Assistants provides much-needed and
evidence-informed guidance on how to unleash the huge potential of
TAs, and is essential reading for all school leaders.

as Italian-American actor Rudolph Valentino. The film begins at the
31-year-old actor's funeral in 1926 in New York and, using
flashbacks, backtracks to his glory days when the former ballroom
dancer used his good looks and charm to mould a successful silent
movie career and become one of the first male screen idols in
Hollywood.
Biddle is a middle child; he has an older brother and a younger
brother and finds himself in the middle almost all the time. He is
growing up and finding out things about his self and learning that
being the middle child or in the middle of things is not so bad
after all. This book will help you journey with Biddle in the
Middle on his adventures.
This volume focuses on the connection between participation
constellations and identity construction as a specific, yet
under-researched problem of text and media linguistics. It
assembles empirical analyses of a wide range of corpora, ranging
from naturally occurring talk-in-interaction over TV series and
social media discourse to the linguistic landscapes of Namibia. In
addition to insights into dynamic participation and identity
constellations in the respective corpora, the articles develop new
theoretical concepts and categories. This volume is of interest to
advanced students and scholars in linguistics, media studies and
sociology alike.
