Description
The CACHE LEVEL 3 Award in Supporting Teaching & Learning (RQF) Qualification is to enable you to gain the required Government recognised (RQF) qualification as a teaching assistant in order to secure a job in either a Primary or Secondary school.
As a Teaching Assistant you are responsible for carrying out practical and administrative tasks, and you are required to work under the direction of the class teacher in the supervision and support of pupils’ learning. In doing this you are helping to make more time available for the Teacher to teach on a daily basis.
Teaching Assistants work under the direction and supervision of Teachers in order to help promote effective learning and teaching usually for children that may encounter learning difficulties. They carry out tasks delegated to them by the Teacher in order to work with children on both a 1-2-1 basis and also taking small groups to support learning.
The Teaching Assistant will be responsible for contributing in the following areas:
- supporting the Teacher
- supporting the pupil
