What My Day-to-Day Support Looks Like
A simple view of how I support children and the class teacher through the school day.
Morning
Preparing the classroom and resources, supporting children as they settle and helping them understand the day's expectations.
Curriculum & Learning Support
Supporting Learning Across the Curriculum
During my experience as a Year 2 Teaching Assistant, I have supported children across different areas of the curriculum by reinforcing concepts, assisting with activities and helping children access learning at their own level.
Mathematics
Supporting children to understand mathematical concepts through guided practice, repetition and practical activities.
Topic Learning
Supporting children during topic-based learning and encouraging participation through hands-on activities and discussion.
Creative Learning
Helping children participate confidently in creative and practical activities.
Supporting the Teacher
A Collaborative Approach
I see the Teaching Assistant and teacher relationship as a partnership. My role is to support the teacher's learning objectives while ensuring individual children receive the attention and encouragement they need.
I have supported classroom preparation, learning activities, individual children, small groups and classroom routines. I have also been trusted to support structured lessons when the class teacher was absent, ensuring continuity for the children.
