After the Bell - Professional Standards for Teaching Assistants - TA's Knowledge and Understanding S8 E3

Welcome back to a new series of After The Bell; your weekly education podcast from Connex Academy. Georgie here, Managing Director of Connex Academy and returning to focus on a new series of podcasts are Andy Bridge, a current Deputy Headteacher and new Debbie Davis, Headteacher of primary school and experienced SENCo.

Today we continue our brand new series of After the Bell podcasts on The Professional Standards for Teaching Assistants brought to you by Connex Academy. As a learning provider for training and CPD for schools, we are critically aware of developing all staff in the workforce, not just teachers.

The Professional Standards for Teaching Assistants are split into four themes, each containing four standards. The second of these is Knowledge and Understanding .

In order for teaching assistants to provide practical support to teachers and pupils, they need to demonstrate expertise and skills in understanding the needs of all pupils (including specialist expertise as appropriate) and know how to adapt and deliver support to meet individual needs.
