The Best Practice Network Level 3 Teaching Assistant (TA) programme is a work-based apprenticeship programme that develops fundamental knowledge; skills and behaviours required to support teachers to enhance pupil learning either in groups or individually. Within the full programme; learners undertake a specialist module of their choice; one of which is Special Education Needs and Disabilities. The SEND module contains approximately 5 hours of content covering: Why SEND matters and Defining SEND; The SEND Code of practice and the Equality Act; Areas of need; Supporting children with complex needs: EHC Plan; Person-centred planning and The Graduated Approach.
We share the desire of every practitioner that every child, regardless of their background, should benefit from an excellent education.
We do this by working in close partnership with practising education professionals to develop and deliver high-quality CPD and qualifications that help school leaders, early years practitioners, business managers, support staff and SENCOs be the best they can be and transform the lives of children and young people.
