Are you supporting your support staff?
Learning Support Assistants (LSAs) go by many names depending on your school, Multi Academy Trust, or Local Authority.
Whatever you know them as, one thing is constant. A good LSA, with the right guidance, can be absolutely key to a productive and supportive classroom.
Learning Support Assistants and the wider support staff within a school are arguably the beating heart of a school. Research out of UCL suggests that without LSAs and wider support staff, schools would have failed to function throughout the lockdowns of recent years.
