What Does the Specialist Teaching Assistant of the Future Look Like?


Specialist teaching assistants play an increasingly important role in supporting learners with diverse and complex needs. The Level 5 apprenticeship is relevant across primary and secondary schools, special schools, alternative provision, sixth forms and colleges, as well as other education settings.
We’re developing our Level 5 Specialist Teaching Assistant apprenticeship, and we want employers and education professionals to help shape our approach.
This could be particularly relevant if you are looking to develop experienced teaching assistants or support staff to take on greater responsibility or specialise in areas such as:
- Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
- Social and emotional wellbeing
- Specialist curriculum provision, which can include areas such as EAL, subject-based interventions, forest schools or music education
Join us at this webinar where we outline our initial outline and help us shape this apprenticeship to fit your needs.
Taking place on Microsoft Teams on Friday 27th November 11:00-12:00
