Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTAs) perform many of the same tasks as regular teaching assistants, but with a significant difference – they shoulder greater responsibility within the classroom. As an HLTA, you’ll be entrusted to step in when a teacher needs to be absent, ensuring continuity in learning until a qualified teacher can provide cover.
Achieving HLTA status represents a recognized path for advancement among school support staff. HLTAs collaborate closely with teachers to elevate educational standards and empower each student to realize their full potential.
This Level 4 qualification, approved by Ofqual and nationally recognized, is tailored for individuals currently working in teaching assistant roles who aspire to become HLTAs and demonstrate their capability to attain HLTA status.
The primary objective is to enhance learners’ knowledge, comprehension, and skills, equipping them to tackle the challenges they encounter in their workplaces. Additionally, they will gain insights into the expertise needed to support individuals and small groups and assist individuals with diverse additional needs.
The HLTA professional standards outline precise expectations for teaching assistants progressing towards HLTA status, comprising 33 standards categorized into three core domains:
- Standards 1-7: Professional Attributes: These standards delineate the attitudes, values, and dedication expected of HLTAs.
- Standards 8-16: Professional Knowledge and Understanding: These standards delineate the knowledge and competencies essential for HLTAs to effectively collaborate with teachers as integral members of the educational team.
- Standards 17-33: Professional Skills: These standards outline expectations for planning, monitoring, managing, and evaluating learning within the framework of guidance and supervision established by the assigned teacher and the school’s Head Teacher.
While teaching assistants (TAs) predominantly play a supportive role, focusing on classroom preparation and maintenance, displaying students’ work, or assisting small groups of pupils, HLTAs actively participate in the delivery of education by:
- Assisting in lesson planning
- Contributing to the creation of educational materials
- Leading entire classes under supervision
- Specializing in specific subjects
- Taking charge of other support staff
