Reviews for The Teaching Assistant's Guide to Understanding and Supporting Learning

'The structure of this book clearly highlights the role of Teaching Assistants (TAs) in supporting learning. If TAs are going to do their jobs well and develop as professionals it is important for them to understand the philosophy behind the learning process, this book provides this opportunity. It also looks at factors such as classroom organisation and learning styles both of which are important issues that need careful consideration. Within several of the chapters there are some practical ideas that the TAs can try out with their pupils. All of these ideas help TAs to build on their own experiences and develop their expertise about how learning happens and about some of the interesting developments in classroom practice that help pupils to learn.' Kathryn Hurley Includes practical ideas but does not neglect rationales. Sound and plainly useful. * The Teacher Trainer *
