Over the weekend another excellent forum for HLTAs and Teaching Assistants came to my attention. Teaching Assistant and HLTA Support (www.taandhltasupport.com) is a newly established forum aimed at all staff in education, though does have its main focus on support staff and enabling them to develop their practice and be aware of the changes not only in the curriculum but in National developments.

The forums administrator has achieved the HLTA status and has forums specifically aimed at Continuing Professional Development.
There are also links to National Strategies, Resources and helpful links for those on a course.
The staff at the site seem very friendly and willing to share their knowledge and expertise with all.
