Summary
Overview
CACHE Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA)
The CACHE Higher Level Teaching Assistant course examines the "core learning structure", and how these skills form a vital part of teaching and working with children. It also looks at the ways you will support classroom practices, the school and its management. You will gain insight into supporting pupils with disabilities and special educational needs, as well as the basics of literacy and numeracy. The "higher level" part of the course title prepares you to carry out specialist roles and duties within specific parts of the curriculum. You could, for example, construct lesson plans alongside delivering your usual Teaching Assistant duties in support of the class teacher and pupils.
The course addresses all of the challenges you will encounter in your new career, and is divided up into 10 highly structured and comprehensive modules that deliver the knowledge you will need to overcome them. The modules cover all aspects of the syllabus and have been specifically written to help you meet the 33 professional standards laid down by the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA). This will enable HLTAs who want to progress to QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) to have a clearer understanding of the additional knowledge and skills required.
The government is pushing hard for better adult to child ratios in the classroom. Money is being pumped into schools across the country to help them take on more Teaching Assistants, as this is regarded as the quickest, most cost-effective way to improve the staffing situation. So, in these difficult times, you will never have a better opportunity to get yourself qualified to operate in this vibrant, positive educational environment.
