Teaching Assistant (TA) is the generic term used for classroom assistants, learning support assistants and other staff whose primary role is to assist the teacher and or student learning. The role of the TA is to help raise educational standards in the classroom, by providing support for the students, teacher and the school.
Responsibilities range from performing routine tasks to working with individual children with special needs. An increasing number of teaching assistants are given the task of assessing pupil literacy and numeracy performance.
Teaching Assistants can help manage large and small groups of children enabling the pupils to receive more attention and become better learners. They can also give extra help to those children who find interacting with other pupils difficult.
