I am training at the moment, having been a volunteer for the last 7 years.
In one of the classes Year 2 I am encouraged to do reading groups and help children with class tasks as well as standard admin tasks.
I have noticed that a different year 2 class the teaching assistant is never in the room with the children she is always doing admin tasks (I go in 2 full days a week and it is always the same).
Also, from a general behaviour point of view is it down to the individual teacher as to whether gentle guidance of a child is encourages/ allowed?
Obviously I am hoping that the college days I have will answer some of these questions but as a volunteer I was really reticent to do anything other than most meanial tasks unless asked.
