Workshops: to support Teaching Assistants and Learning Support Assistants
Teaching Assistants (TAs) and Learning Support Assistants (LSAs) are stars in our schools.
You do so many things to support learning; setting up desks, wiping tears, building confidence, chatting and building relationships. This is all in addition to making learning happen.
We hear you
Through talking to TAs and LSAs in Wales we know that some of you are finding it tough. That’s why we have developed a number of free workshops specifically designed to support you and those who line manage you.
These will help you to feel well so that you can meet the challenges you face daily.
What will we cover?
Our series of bespoke workshops are focussed on supporting mental health and wellbeing within the following themes:
- Taking care of you
- Empower yourself
- Connecting with your sense of purpose
- Looking after your Teaching Assistants – for line managers of TAs and LSAs
More details of the individual workshops coming soon
Why attend?
These workshops will help build your self-efficacy and resilience and provide ways to support your wellbeing.
You’ll gain practical tips to apply what you learn, while also addressing some of the challenges you face culturally such as; lack of time in the day, feeling unheard and being unable to, or lacking the opportunity to, raise any concerns.
We want to support you to be well so you can flourish in your personal and work lives and continue to provide invaluable support for children in your school.
These workshops are funded thanks to support from Welsh Government.
We have a dedicated team of wellbeing specialists who provide practical resources and expert guidance to help you prioritise staff mental health and wellbeing in your school.
With our help you can make meaningful change at your school.
Our Wellbeing Support and Development Services provide in-depth opportunities to keep your staff feeling motivated, engaged and effective in their roles.
There’s a range of learning and reflection routes to choose from which have been developed and tailored with direct input from school staff.
