How children learn and develop Different aspects of the curriculum How to manage a room of small children and how to get them to focus on the task at hand

I love it and I can’t believe it took me this long to do it. It’s what I’ve always wanted to do.

Really well structured. There’s help if I need it and from the beginning it was communicated to me what is expected of me and the help I can receive if I need it. I find everyone very helpful and kind.

As mentioned, lots of help as needed. The help also comes from my tutor.

As much support as I need and he’s always at the end of the phone if I need help with anything

I think that the knowledge I gain with the study that I am doing helps so much in my day to day role. I also feel that the experience gained in my day to day role helps with my study!

There are different social events that happen with the teaching staff which I am involved in. I also have a great friendship with the teachers I work with and the other TA’s. The school are always putting on events which happen outside school hours. An example of which is the recent Mother’s Day picnic.

Yes

Because I think they work abs job they do is so worthwhile to help people like me, achieve their dreams

Do it now! Don’t put it off. The support and guidance you receive is amazing and can set you on your way to the career you want!
