Teaching Assistant's Handbook

The teacher's assistant's role is important, and more is being expected of the people who do the job. Yet advice and support can be hard to find. This book aims to be an accessible, practical and constructive one-stop resource, with a large format text design and frequent use of boxed material. It covers each module of the CACHE STA award, and can be used as a textbook for all students enrolling on this course. It is also written to support assistants not on the course, either existing assistants in posts (many of whom have no qualifications) or voluntary help. Each chapter includes case studies, self-assessment exercises, suggestions for taking issues further, references and sources of further information.
