I absolutely love Larry David. Love that he put that moron bill Maher in his place. Love that he’s not afraid to speak out about how horrible trump is. We need more Larry David’s!
Many people up here in Canada are looking forward to the day someone makes America great again.
🕔 'TAs are the backbone of inclusive education, yet their average annual salary in 2024 was £15,476' @senresourceblog buff.ly/3CWZM9t
I still support President Zelenskyy and the brave people of Ukraine! 💙💛 Raise your hand 🖐️and Repost if you do too!
For #NationalStressAwarenessDay, we asked TAs what the most stressful part of their role is Here’s what they said twinkl.co.uk/l/122qix
@Hannah_Digest The most stressful is covering a class for Teacher and still doing my TA duties ie changing books readers… but if I am ever away none of my duties are covered. Having no PPA time to prep for interventions and SEN support! I could go on 😊
BREAKING 🚨 Teaching assistants ACCEPT the 2024 pay deal twinkl.co.uk/l/1m5ejc
Jo Holmes from @BACP shares why it's so important for TAs to prioritise their own mental health and wellbeing, not just the pupils they support 👇 twinkl.co.uk/l/cti8e
A step closer to better TA pay 🚨 The School Support Staff Negotiating Body (SSSNB) in today's Employment Rights Bill twinkl.co.uk/l/6udm3
Calls to cut term-time only contracts as @GMB_union reveal TAs miss out on ‘up to £3,860 every year’ READ: twinkl.co.uk/l/c90mp
The latest from Skills England: Teaching assistants are in 'elevated demand' TAs are the second most in-demand role in education, behind secondary teachers Is it FINALLY time to review TA pay to attract more into the vitally important role? 🤔 #Lab24 twinkl.co.uk/l/h08fm
I am so close to handing in my notice.. the amount of work I am asked to do, cover and being pulled here there and everywhere has reached its limit!!! … not worth the pay at all 😞
@teaching_just I covered for the whole last month of term … for good will!?! Things need to change for TA’s x
Petition to get this @alanshearer banger to number one! 😅 Love this from @dave5wol 🙌 #BBCEuros #Euro2024
Why does everyone think TAs are the least trained or educated within the classroom? I am tired of this mainstream opinion. I have a different degree and different training it’s not less just specialised for my role!
@Hannah_Digest @senresourceblog The job has changed beyond belief but the professional standing has not kept up momentum. The best practice award has completely tripled TAs workload and although TAs are interviewed and recognised. No extra pay or promotion for the TA. Praise for hard work doesn’t pay bills.
The 2024 TA pay claim has been rejected 🚨 Instead of the £3000 requested, TAs have been offered a ‘full and final pay offer’ of £1290 Read more 👇 twinkl.co.uk/l/11iv1f
@CoastalK8 @UNISONinSchools @guardian @RobWebster_ @TeacherTapp When I as a TA are asked to cover it’s on my own with no other member of staff supporting.. teachers have TAs when teaching.. so no fair.
