Why Study SEN Teaching and Support Skills?
The SEN teaching assistant plays a role of crucial importance, both in specialist SEN schools and in the classroom in general. Anywhere pupils require additional support due to their unique educational needs, the input of a skilled TA is invaluable. It is the job of the teaching assistant to help all pupils fulfil their potential - including those with special educational needs. All too often, conventional teaching assistants lack the specialist knowledge and skills needed to work confidently and capably with SEN pupils. This exclusive online course has been designed to bridge one of the most common yet potentially problematic gaps in a TA’s professional capabilities. Whether considering a career change or looking to take your career as a TA to the next level, this exclusive SEN Teaching Assistant Course comes highly recommended.
