<p><b><i>′The publication of this book is most timely. As the plans for the remodelling of the school workforce begin to take shape, further complexities surrounding the area continue to be exposed. This book addresses many of these and does so in an accessible and thought provoking way. Simplistic answers to how best we can work with support in the classroom are not provided, but different ways of approaching the question are. By reading about, and engaging with, fictionalised accounts, case studies, stories and vignettes, the reader is transported across the whole range of educational settings, exploring the myriad definitions of classroom "support"′ <b><i>- Dr Iris Keating, Manchester Metropolitan University</i></b></i></b></p>
Over recent years, there has been a vast increase in the number of people who support children′s learning in classrooms and other educational settings, both as employees and as volunteers.
This book provides teachers with advice on how to work collaboratively to achieve the best outcomes. Using stories of successful practice, the book explores the roles that can be played by people other than qualified teachers.
