Take three
Description
A large range of opportunities exist for Higher Level Teaching Assistants, opportunities which allow them to further their careers and get greater job satisfaction from their roles in the classroom. We meet three HLTAs who work at Rosset High School in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. Four years ago there were no HLTAs at the school; now there are five who work alongside the 80 plus teachers. The school's head maintains that the HLTAs are integral to helping the school improve achievement. The programme follows HLTAs as they work in the school's inclusion unit; helping pupils with literacy and helping to teach pupils with EAL.Senior teaching staff describe how the roles of the HLTAs can add value in the classroom and how teachers can come to see them as a vital resource able to offer specialised services which can become an important part of the school's personalised learning programme.
