Level 3 Teaching Assistant
The role of the Teaching Assistant is to support the class teacher to enhance pupils learning within a Primary, Secondary or Special education across all age ranges.
What is the Teaching Assistant Apprenticeship?
Typically, this level 3 apprenticeship will take 13-18 months.
Teaching Assistants work in Primary, Special and Secondary education across all age ranges encompassing special educational needs and emotional vulnerabilities. The primary role of the Teaching Assistant is to support the class teacher to enhance pupils’ learning either in groups or individually, ensuring pupils understand the work set, know their learning objectives and stay on task in order to make progress. Promoting self-belief, social inclusion and a high self-esteem play an integral part to pupils’ well-being; ensuring pupils thrive in a positive, nurturing, safe environment. It is an active role supporting the learner to access the curriculum. They are good role models, act with honesty and integrity, take part in team meetings; contribute to planning and class activities. Promoting Fundamental British Values through spiritual, moral, social and cultural development and positive behaviours are crucial in contributing to improved pupil progress and development.
End Point Assessment
The end point assessment (EPA) will test the entire standard and comprises of the following elements:
- A practical observation with questions and answers
- A professional discussion supported by a portfolio of evidence
A summary of knowledge, skills and behaviours will need to be demonstrated throughout your EPA
