Reviews
"It is a valuable resource for the TA and teacher alike. The book is well written and shows an excellent understanding of the reality of working in primary schools... For those new to the role it is an excellent starting point. I shall certainly be recommending it to the student teachers with whom I work to ensure that they begin their career regarding all who help in the classroom as fellow professionals."
