What Does the Specialist Teaching Assistant of the Future Look Like?
York St John University is developing their Level 5 Specialist Teaching Assistant apprenticeship, and want employers and education professionals to help shape their approach.
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.
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 them at this webinar where they outline their initial outline and help them shape this apprenticeship to fit your needs.
