It covers the essential elements of the new roles that teaching assistants occupy, including supporting the c ore curriculum elements of a primary school, assessment and recording, child protection and special needs of children in areas of learning and behaviour." "This book is easy to read and can form a core text for a number of development courses for teaching assistants , but it can also be a reference point and is likely to be a well thumbed book in a school staff-room."

I would like to see this added to every bookshelf alongside other volumes for teaching assistants." (Dr Christopher Arnold-nasen, My 2006)
