- Lead small group interventions in Literacy and Numeracy, helping students catch up or keep pace with the curriculum.
- The How:To Specialist: Teach students how to learn, focusing on organisation, memory techniques, and confidence-building.

Your Role as an LSA
As a Learning Support Assistant, you are the link between the teachers' high-level plan and the students' individual understanding.
Differentiating Resources:
- Take a standard lesson and re-package it: creating simplified worksheets, visual aids, or word banks to suit the specific needs of the learners you support.
Small Group Leadership:
- Take charge of breakout sessions, guiding 3-5 students through a specific task to ensure they aren't overwhelmed by the pace of the main classroom.
Promoting Independence:
- Use the scaffold and fade technique: providing heavy support initially and gradually stepping back as the student gains the confidence to work alone.
Progress Tracking:
- Maintain clear records of student breakthroughs and hurdles, providing vital data to the Class Teacher and SENCO to help shape future lessons.
