Great question! In an ideal world, the strategies I outline-like using positive language, offering choices, and being flexible-should be used for all students, as they promote engagement and reduce anxiety. However, in many schools, TAs often face time pressures, high workloads, and the demands of supporting multiple students, so these approaches may not always be applied universally. I've focused on children with PDA in this instance because these strategies aren’t just helpful-they’re essential. Their anxiety around demands means traditional methods can increase resistance, so framing tasks in ways that provide autonomy and reduce pressure is key to helping them engage. My videos are aimed at less experienced TAs who might not have had time to explore these approaches yet and it’s why I provide an accompanying pdf that expands on the information given in the video. I hope this helps clarify the difference between strategies and where I’m coming from. 😊

Language can sometimes be a factor, especially if the role requires strong communication skills for working with students, teachers, and parents. However, it’s important to remember that many schools value bilingual or multilingual TAs, especially when working with students who have English as an Additional Language (EAL). If you’re concerned about language being a barrier, here are some tips to strengthen your application and interview performance: Showcase Your Strengths: Highlight any skills or experience you bring, such as working with children, managing classrooms, or supporting learning. Emphasise how being multilingual could benefit the school, such as helping EAL students feel more comfortable. Work on Confidence: If English isn’t your first language, focus on improving your confidence in speaking and writing. Practice common interview questions and answers with a friend or mentor, or record yourself to refine your responses. Demonstrate Your Commitment to Learning: Schools value candidates who are willing to learn and improve. If you’re actively working on your language skills, mention this during your interview-it shows dedication and determination. Ask for Feedback: If you’ve faced rejection, don’t hesitate to ask the school for feedback. They may provide helpful insights to improve for your next application. Remember, language skills can improve over time, and schools often appreciate enthusiasm, experience, and your ability to connect with students. Keep applying, and don’t let this hold you back-you’ve got a lot to offer! Good luck, and feel free to reach out if you have more questions.

The situation you describe is definitely an exception and I have done something similar. My neighbour had broken her leg and her children went to the school I worked at, so my neighbour spoke to the headteacher and it was arranged for me to drive the children to and from school - all open and above board! So, what you did was absolutely fine! In answer to your question, it's not that I think you shouldn't put it on your application form, it's more that I don't think it's needed on there. Hope this helps! Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with! ❤

@@kulepayomike Here’s my Safeguarding playlist which will tell you what you need to know to answer questions: ua-cam.com/play/PLk_6Q03blqv9Opzi16zAQgKz2MwDoUnXP.html&si=ABnkDccDd5FF1PyU I’ll be adding 2 more safeguarding videos to the playlist tomorrow so keep an eye out for them! You could also ask your question about safeguarding interview questions and answers in my Facebook group TA IN CONTROL FREE GROUP and I’ll do my best to help ❤️

Thank you, this is useful.

@@silvanaabdelalahad877 Sorry to hear that. It’s horrid isn’t it! Are you in a different school now and in a happier situation? ❤️

@TAinCONTROL yes I am in different school now.

@ Good! I’m happy to hear that! ❤️

Yes...I hope you are finding them useful! Thank you so much for your support! It's greatly appreciated! ❤

Thank you so much for watching my videos and for reaching out! I can tell you’re carefully considering this decision, and I appreciate your honesty about your concerns. Let’s break this down step by step to help you get a realistic idea of what’s needed for a TA role and how you might approach it. 1. Qualifications for TAs Can Vary by Country If you’re in the UK, many schools are open to hiring TAs without formal qualifications in literacy and numeracy, as long as you’re willing to learn on the job. Some schools even offer support with these skills once you’re employed. In the USA or other countries, requirements can vary widely by state or region. Some may require certain qualifications, while others might be more flexible, especially for entry-level or supporting roles. It could be helpful to reach out to local schools or education boards to clarify what’s expected in your area. 2. Sample Tests and Learning Levels It sounds like the sample tests may have been at a higher level than expected for the initial stages of a TA course, especially if you’re just starting out. Keep in mind that many people feel unsure at first, especially with formal literacy and numeracy tests. From your written comment, your English seems strong, so you may just need a bit of practice with specific test formats or with questions designed to test core skills. 3. Consider High Schools vs. Primary Schools You may find that applying to secondary (high) schools is a better fit, as these roles sometimes put less emphasis on a TA’s literacy and numeracy skills, focusing more on supporting students in specific subjects or general classroom support. It could be a great option if you’re worried about the literacy or numeracy aspects, as secondary schools often value other skills more heavily. 4. Focus on What You Can Do Remember, your life experience and any other work skills are valuable! Schools often look for TAs with good interpersonal skills, patience, and adaptability. Think about the skills you’ve developed in other jobs or from life experiences-these can be highly transferable to a TA role. For example, skills like communication, teamwork, and managing responsibilities are all qualities that schools appreciate. 5. Consider Taking Small Steps to Boost Your Confidence If you’re truly worried about literacy, numeracy, or computer skills, you might consider doing a short, free course online. Websites like BBC Bitesize (UK) or Khan Academy offer free resources for brushing up on basics, and this could boost your confidence if you decide to go for a TA role. If you have any spare hours in the week, you could also reach out to local schools to see if they offer any volunteer opportunities. This can be a great way to get experience and increase your chances of becoming a TA. Starting as a TA doesn’t mean you need to be an expert in everything-it’s more about your willingness to support students and work as part of a team. From your thoughtful comment, it’s clear you have a strong interest in the role, which counts for a lot. Thanks again for reaching out, and best of luck! Please keep me updated on your journey-I’m rooting for you! And if you're not a member already, come and join my Facebook group 'TA IN CONTROL FREE GROUP' It would be great to see you in there! 💗

Dear Mam I am so happy to see your detailed reply. Also I am thankful for your advice and really appreciate the effort you have put for this comment. I am in Australia and here there are certificate courses for teacher's aide jobs which I could only start after successfully completing their literacy and numeracy assessment. So that was my concern. I am ready to work and have a love to work with kids as you said and also ready to learn anything if given a training or so. Also I have joined the volunteering group of a local school here but have never received any calls so far. Anyway your tips and advice have now given me some confidence to work for this. Maybe at least if not soon I can spend more time on this and can join the course later too after improving my skills. Love your videos dear Mam and you are a real inspiration for me. I am going to work for it. Anyway I can give a try . Once again thanks a lot for spending your valuable time. Will keep you updated.
