Why Study Teaching Assistant Skills?

Teaching assistants enjoy a career dedicated to the education and development of pupils of all ages.  For the teaching assistant, the challenge lies in providing the unique support each pupil needs to get the most after their educational experience. Along with their understanding of the curriculum, teaching assistants help pupils develop important social skills and interpersonal skills.  They also play a key role in helping pupils facing difficulties overcome their challenges and thrive.
