Two teaching assistants decide whether becoming a higher level teaching assistant (HLTA) would be the right career path for them. By talking to teaching assistants who have already acquired the status they find out what an HLTA’s responsibilities can be. Through discussions with their line managers they find out about the areas that they will need to work on in order to meet the 33 HLTA standards should they decide to go for HLTA status. Finally they attend a Needs Analysis Briefing which goes through the standards thoroughly and explains the preparation and assessment process before they make their decision.
