Praise for "Reassessing the Impact of TAs"
The substantial and counter-intuitive research findings that underpin this book set it apart.
Seamus Hegarty, Editor of the European Journal of Special Needs Education
'Reassessing the Impact...' is an essential read for school leaders seeking to develop conceptually sound models of inclusive service delivery that account for the full range of student diversity, including students with disabilities and other SEN.
Professor Michael F. Giangreco, Department of Education and the Center on Disability and Community Inclusion, University of Vermont, USA
This is a most welcome book … high quality and will have a substantial impact.
Professor Geoff Lindsay, Director of Centre for Educational Development, Appraisal and Research, University of Warwick
This is the most up-to-date, comprehensive and detailed account of the work of
teaching assistants in this country … essential reading for all teachers and senior managers in schools, local authority support services and teaching assistants themselves.
Peter Farrell, Professor of Special Needs and Educational Psychology, University of Manchester
This book will inspire you to take a fresh look at the role of your TAs, and maximise
their impact in the classroom. I commend it to all school leaders and teachers.
Roz Sendorek, Headteacher, Oakfield First School, Windsor
