What is/was/will be your rationale for TA change by Dr Sean Bracken https://padlet.com/s_bracken/9qen35iywovw Briefly share your rationale in 2 or 3 sentences, followed by your initials en-us 2017-09-20 14:16:59 UTC 2019-09-24 13:17:13 UTC hello@padlet.com TA Change https://padlet.com/s_bracken/9qen35iywovw/wish/239545574 Historically, teaching assistants have been "helping" in schools for many years.  Over recent years the role and expectations of many "teaching assistants" have been continually changing. Teaching assistants are now focussing more and more, particularly since the introduction of PPA time, on delivering the curriculum and thus teaching whole classes. Within my setting the number of TAs has fallen considerably due to funding cuts, therefore leaving the majority of KS2 classes without any additional support. TA deployment is an area that needs to be investigated to ensure that all TAs are used to their full potential.

TA's are becoming a limited but vital resource within school so therefore now need to be skilled and a highly effective resource within the school.

Enable impact and draw on strengths of staff.   Upskilling and effective deployment. Celebrating those who want to stay but empowering others to grow.

This should include an audit of skills and CPD to address issues and improve the efficiency of interventions and promote positive affective outcomes for pupils https://padlet.com/s_bracken/9qen35iywovw/wish/388804032 2019-09-24 13:11:17 UTC https://padlet.com/s_bracken/9qen35iywovw/wish/388804032 Cost effective interventions outside the classroom.

More empowered and valued as part of the school
