Reviews for The Effective Teaching Assistant: A Practical Guide to Supporting Achievement for Pupils with SEND

A most helpful text for assistants who so often feel that they carry the responsibility for developing the skills and learning abilities of children with the greatest needs, yet lack the training to do so effectively. - Dr Lindsey Peer, CBE, Peer Gordon Associates This is a comprehensive, practical must-have book for any teaching assistant working with children with SEND. - Lorraine Peterson, Educational Consultant Immediately useful therefore and long overdue...I can think of no better recommendation than that it comes from practitioners and for no more deserving group of youngsters. [A]core text for TAs who provide such vital support work for our children. - Dr Elizabeth Sidwell CBE, BSC(Hons), PGCE, FRSA, FRGS, Schools Commissioner for England (DFE 2011-13)
