    Professional Values and Practice concentrates on the more theoretical aspects of the HLTA role: professionalism, relationships, statutory frameworks and knowing your limits. It offers guidance and support on fulfilling the standards and succeeding both inside and outside of the classroom. This book provides:

    • real-life case studies that put the theory behind the standards into a whole-school context
    • practical activities that convey how the standards can be used in the classroom
    • guidance on the school-based aspects of the training and assessment
    • advice on the difference between the learning and teaching standards for newly qualified teachers and HLTAs.

    This book is complemented by a companion volume, Learning and Teaching, which underpins the practical teaching skills required of teaching assistants at this level.

    Chapter 1 Introduction; Chapter 2 Professionalism; Chapter 3 Relationships with pupils; Chapter 4 Relationships with other adults in school; Chapter 5 The context of the whole school; Chapter 6 The local and national context; Chapter 7 Personal reflection and development;
