Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

5/5

1. Getting the classroom ready in the morning/tidying up in the afternoon
2. Supporting pupils in completing a task
3. Listening to them read
4. Attending meetings
5. Lunchtime supervision
6. Sometimes talking to parents at drop-off and pick-up

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I enjoy the programme very much. Every day brings a new challenge.
I also enjoy going on school trips with my class as this allows me to see a different side of the pupils and see them in a different environment.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

I have improved my confidence as when I started I was not as confident as I am now.
I have developed my communication skills as sometimes I would have to ring parents that do not understand English and I would have to translate for them.
I also learnt behaviour management strategies.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5

Very. I have meetings with my tutor often, and during those meetings, my tutor ensures that I know what is coming up and what I should be doing.
It's very simple to know what you have to do and what to do to achieve it correctly.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

From my experience, whenever I asked for support someone was there to support me with what I needed. They provide me with training opportunities and staff members are always happy to answer any questions if I am unsure of something.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

5/5

My training provider provides me with all the support I need. They provide me with advice on what I can do if I am unsure about something. They also advised me how to get the most out of my time during the course, for example, I could do different courses/readings that will go towards my portfolio.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

5/5

I feel that my qualification helps me to perform better in my role because it gives me a deeper understanding of my roles and responsibilities.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

5/5

There are extra-curricular activities to get involved in at my work that will help me become better at my role within the school and at developing relationships with other people.
