... an excellent awareness-raising resource for every newly qualified teacher to carry in their 'new school bag', and for training establishments to add to their recommended reading list. --British Journal of Special Education
Product Description
Learning Support Assistants are taking an increasingly pivotal role in the classroom, yet their voices have remained unheard. In this book they talk about their work in various schools and settings in the UK and Europe. The Learning Support Assistants writing here come from a range of educational and experiential backgrounds and work across a wide spectrum of schools, including one for children with emotional and behavioural difficulties and one for children with special educational needs. The book aims to connect with the current experience of these invaluable but poorly paid educators, raise their profile and validate their voices. By developing points of practice from the grounded experience of Learning Support Assistants, it provides a resource for their training and development. This book is for Learning Support Assistants, for their trainers and mentors, and for the management teams of schools who employ people to support children in their classrooms.

An informative insight into the working and sometimes private lives of valuable members of society. Definitley underestimated within their field of work, it is good that somebody has taken the time to 'champion' their cause. With a disturbing increase in the amount of children in todays society needing specialist help to cope with day to day living, respect should be given to this extraordinary group of people and the service they provide. A learning curve for the teaching establishment - I think.

I came upon this book in a university library when I was doing a work related qualification, Foundation Degree of Arts (FdA) entitled 'Working with Children'. For my final year I had to do a research project which I decided to focus on the role of the Learning Support Assistant (LSA) in school. I had acquired some knowledge on this subject based on my own experiences and of those LSAs I had met. I found this book useful as there were similar and also very different experiences recounted.
For anyone thinking of becoming an LSA you may wish to read this as this is a frank account of the LSA role. Or perhaps you are a prospective teacher! Teachers do not always value LSAs, perhaps they don't always understand how to use them effectively. Either way this is a rare book as it gives us an insight in how LSAs support children in our schools. Without LSAs a lot of teachers might struggle to cope with the demands of the modern classroom.
