Q1: Discuss the Training requirements for Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTAS).
HLTA’s are professionals that have the relevant training knowledge, skills and experience relevant to, and related to HLTA standards. These standards are designed to provide assurance to teachers and parents about the quality of contribution to pupils learning that HLTA's can be expected to make. Additional, legislation and regulations requires that HLTA’s do not act or take the place of teachers, and that head teachers have influence on selecting staff. While standards are generic across all key stages, training provides opportunity to build on and develop their prior specialist knowledge and experience. Although training will be varied, all HLTA’s will go through the same preparation and assessment process.
In order to qualify at this level there are a variety of training requirements that need to be adhered to such as a national recognized qualification or at least a level 2 or above in English/literature and Math/numerical which ensures that they are able and confident in what they are teaching. In addition they should be familiar with the school curriculum along with skills in curriculum development which allows HLTA’s to be able to teach independent to group/age related expectations and teaching methods. They should have sufficient understanding of their specialist area of which they are assigned to whether this be young, teenagers, special needs, gifted and talented children. They should also have good knowledge of the SEN code of practice and disabilities legislation so that they can support pupils learning and to be able to acquire further knowledge to contribute effectively and with confidence to the classes involved. They should also be confident in regulations and law surrounding areas in which they are working whether it is child matters act or children in care act and should be able to discuss development stages including speech and languages.
