Teaching assistants can apply to undertake the
nationally recognised Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTA)
assessment.
If they meet the requirements they gain HLTA status,
which demonstrates to headteachers, teachers and
parents their skills, knowledge and experience.
If you are interested in finding out more about this
scheme or in applying to be assessed, information is available
on the North Somerset Continuing Professional Development
website in
the
HLTA Resources area.
Here you will find information on how the application process is
managed and details about the application criteria.
There are also case studies of staff working in North
Somerset schools who are employed with HLTA responsibilities and a
link to the Training and Development Agency (TDA) website
which provides further information.
