Designed for Teaching Assistants, TAs, LSAs, SSAs, SENCOs and secondary school teachers, this practical toolkit supports schools to make effective use of additional adults while promoting pupil independence.

The toolkit includes guidance on effective TA deployment, the role of the Teaching Assistant, different deployment models, matching support to need, difficult staffing and deployment decisions, promoting independence and effective teacher–TA collaboration. It also contains photocopiable TA observation records, a Teacher–Teaching Assistant–SENCO review meeting template, and 10 realistic secondary-school case studies with considerations and possible actions. Suitable for: secondary SEND teams, SENCOs, Teaching Assistants, Learning Support Assistants (LSAs), Student Support Assistants (SSAs), teachers, staff training, TA meetings and SEND CPD. UK-focused resource: includes references to EHCP provision, Section F and the SENCO role. The pack also includes a printable CPD certificate of completion. For the TES product title, I’d use: Secondary School Teaching Assistant Toolkit | TA, LSA & SSA SEND Support & CPD
