This is another excellent book in the Art of Being Brilliant series. It is particularly relevant as a practical resource for the developing group of classroom assistants, learning mentors, coaches and others working within classrooms and workshops to promote access, inclusion, participation and learning outcomes at a range of levels. As the authors point out, within many areas of education the classroom assistants are the unsung heroes and, on occasions, the under-valued members of a school/college community. In a really well structured text the authors have re-asserted the role of LSAs in making -˜the difference' for so many learners of all levels of ability.
This book is essential reading for all support staff to promote their effective practice and gain additional skills and insight on addressing key issues such as safeguarding, abuse, behaviour for learning, participation, engagement, feedback and recognition of progress.
