Books specially for Teaching Assistants
These books emphasise the hugely important role that TAs play in education. The SEND system in schools relies upon TAs who are well informed and trained specifically to bring out the best from children and young people they support. To this end, my books provide TAs with the skills and knowledge needed to perform a key role in their school setting.
