This programme examines the most important and sometimes difficult aspects of the teaching assistant/teacher relationship.
Teaching assistants and teachers talk frankly about working together to raise the issues and discuss solutions. Communication, lack of respect from pupils/parents and clarity of roles are all debated, helping to develop mutual understanding and creating the foundations required for building more effective work relations.
Kate Atkins, deputy head at Rosendale Primary School, leads the workshop and two actors from Big Wheel Theatre enact common scenarios for the group to discuss.
This programme is linked to 'Working with Teachers - Practical Tips', where practical strategies are offered to solve typical problems.

It’s still early days for those who have gained HLTA status, but how much is actually known about the day-to-day difference the status makes?
Whilst no school deploys their HLTAs in exactly the same way as another, ‘HLTA at Work’ offers a useful insight into one HLTA’s new set of responsibilities and daily routine.
Ruth McFetridge, one of two HLTAs at Wilberfoss Primary School, gives a personal account of the changes she has experienced since gaining the status and how she feels her role has developed.
In class we see Ruth leading group work, working one to one and with the whole class. Outside the class we see Ruth involved in lesson and medium-term planning meetings.
How does she find this new level of responsibility--and is the workload outweighing her enjoyment of working with the class unsupervised?

Valerie Vassell and Jackie Roberts are teaching assistants (TAs) who want to learn techniques to help them manage their pupils' anger. They work one-to-one with learning mentor Sarah Harris. Together they examine strategies that can be adapted for TAs to use in large-group situations.
Three areas of anger management are discussed, these being recognising physical symptoms, establishing boundaries and developing coping strategies.
Sarah works with an individual pupil, focussing on the physical aspects of anger. Valerie and Jackie then get a small group of pupils to recognise their physical anger and draw out their feelings.
The TAs watch Sarah working with a boy on establishing rules to govern anger. Valerie and Jackie then discuss the rules they would like to follow.
Sarah also coaches a boy on strategies for being angry without breaking the rules. Valerie and Jackie's group use role-play to investigate situations and discuss appropriate responses.

Lee Pascal, author and teacher, has been studying dyslexia for over 35 years. In this engaging and light-hearted workshop for teaching assistants, he tackles the serious subject of dyslexia and offers real insight into how dyslexics think, learn and remember. He also looks at strategies and techniques for helping them with learning, spelling and reading.
After an introduction to the subject of dyslexia, Lee talks about the visual, auditory and kinaesthetic approach to learning that dyslexics and others who have similar problems, find most useful. He engages his audience with some participatory games and passes on useful tips about how to support them with spelling.
'Joined-up writing' and 'joined-up speaking' are just two of the methods he advocates.
He also looks at spelling techniques - look, cover, learn, remember - and concludes with the moving story of a boy who grew to love reading but only once books were made easy enough for him.
