Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTA)
The work of HLTAs complements that of teachers and the roles are not interchangeable. As more HLTAs are training and assessed as having met the standards the range of support available to teachers and school will be enhanced allowing qualified teachers to made even more effective use of their time and their particular professional knowledge skills and understanding.
HLTAs work in a range of different settings and with more autonomy than most other school support staff. Teachers and head teachers working within the regulatory framework will be expected to make professional judgements about which teaching and learning activities HLTAs should undertake and what support and guidance they should have. These standards and the associated training and assessment are designed to provide an assurance to teachers, employers and parents about the quality of contribution to pupils learning that HLTAs can be expected to make.
