Just realised this is long, but thought some background might help...
I live in a weird and wonderful country.
My primary aged kids are at the British School here. They follow the National Curriculum (with some extras - so for example my y3 is having French lessons, but also local language lessons, the Religious education focuses on the cultural and religious aspects of this country, as well as alluding to religious things happening round the world).
I know they are desperate for substitute TAs, so I dropped the headmaster a line saying if there was anything a degree educated, but no school experience, parent could help with, I would be happy to help. I was expecting to be asked to photocopy or similar. I have been asked to go in and shadow the TAs for 3 days, with a view of them calling when they need a TA in the classroom as existing TAs are ill or on holiday (yes, this happens, teachers too).
My qualifications are: English as a native speaker (but dyslexic), primary aged kids who are generally considered well behaved, scientific degree, and decade in research laboratories.
If I was to turn up in your classroom next week (in addition to your current TA), what would you expect from me?? What would you like me to do? Any suggestions, do's, dont's???
Thank-you in advance.

Am I allowed here - what do you want out of a TA?
