Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) Status
HLTA status provides recognition that a teaching assistant is
working at a higher level, as assessed against a set of national
standards. Research commissioned by the Training and Development
Agency found that....
'....HLTA status is offering
recognition and valuable development opportunities to support staff
as well as providing assistance to pupils, teachers and schools. It
is clear that the HLTA role has the potential to change the way in
which education is delivered and to make a positive difference to
school life. It offers greater flexibility to school leaders as
well as greater job satisfaction for staff.'
