I'm hoping to become a TA and have started applying for jobs. I had an interview last week which didn't go all that well and I've got another one coming up in another couple of weeks, and I'm really in need of a bit of advice!
I've been volunteering for a while in a local primary school, (and worked with SEN children in a different context), and my lack of actual TA experience doesn't seem to be preventing me from getting interviews, but in the last one I felt that they were expecting different answers from the ones that I gave, iyswim! I wonder if I could pick people's brains a bit?
As a teacher what would you really be looking for from a TA whose role would partly involve working with individual children and small groups who have special educational and additional needs?
Also, there were a lot of questions at the last interview about recording achievements and progress, which I got the impression I didn't answer very well... any suggestions?
Any advice at all greatly appreciated!
