Yesterday (September 14th) on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme there was an item about the importance of teaching assistants.

I have also made a clip of this on Box of Broadcasts called ‘The importance of teaching assistants’ so you can access it through Bob via the library website.

There are number of interesting points made by Sir Kevan Collins, the Chief Executive of the Education Endowment Foundation and Ross McMullen, a former headteacher.
