Teaching Assistant

Do you have the three Ps - Patience, Positivity and Perseverance?

Being an SEN teaching assistant requires a unique skillset due to the complex needs you are likely to come across. Specifically, it is important to be:

Patient

SEN pupils are likely to take longer than other pupils to understand something or complete a task.

Positive

It's important that you remain positive and offer plenty of praise!


Most importantly, never give up on your SEN pupils. Persevere with their learning.
