Why Study Teaching Assistant Skills?

Careers in education can be uniquely rewarding and fulfilling.  However, it can be difficult to know where to start.  For some, becoming a teaching assistant represents a stepping-stone on the way to bigger and better things.  For others, there’s nothing more rewarding than helping pupils of all ages realise their potential.  Teaching assistants are far more than everyday educators.  They are the role models pupils look up to, the guardians they confide in and the inspirational figures who lead by example.  Talented teaching assistants play a direct role in the growth and development of every individual they work with.  A position of significant responsibility, which can also be surprisingly rewarding for the most qualified and capable candidates.
