A Teaching Assistant (TA) is an individual who assists the teachers in the accomplishment of the learning and leisure activities of the children. Teaching assistants work in close proximity with children in order to ensure that they carry out the classroom activities well.

The responsibilities of a teaching assistant are many and may vary from school to school. However, they have to work according to the instructions of the teacher in charge and under her supervision. Even though their rank is lower than the teachers, their role is very important in a classroom.

The job of a TA will include getting the classroom ready for students, observing the learning activities of the children, ensuring their security, supervising group tasks, supporting children with Special Education Needs (SEN) and so on.
