The Teacher Aide Training Manual

A practical resource for teacher aides, teacher assistants, school support officers (SSOs), learning support officers (LSOs), integration aides, education assistants (EAs), community education officers, paraeducators and tutors.

For the first time, this handbook applies research-based instructional and behaviour management strategies to the complex and demanding work of teacher aides. Learn the techniques used by high performing teachers such as explicit instruction, systematic prompting and how to successfully apply the principles of scaffolding.

This book includes hundreds of practical, everyday hints as well as many advanced features for those who want to extend their skills and knowledge. Everyone from complete beginners through to qualified teachers will find this book useful in many ways.
