What is my Role as the Learning Support Teacher?

 

 My Role as a Learning support teacher is to  focus on the provision of supplementary teaching to pupils who require additional help. I work with my pupils in a learning support room.
My work involves planning and implementing effective teaching strategies, liaising with parents, staff and other relevant professionals.

Work activities
  • Helping pupils to cope with and overcome problems that arise because of learning difficulties.
  • Developing and fostering the appropriate skills and social abilities to enable the optimum development of pupils.
  • Encouraging students to develop self-confidence and independence, and to reach their potential.
  • Adapting the Curriculum and conventional teaching methods to meet individual needs.
  • Using audio-visual materials and computers to stimulate interest and learning.
  • Panning and delivering lessons, setting and marking assignments.
  • Assessing and recording children’s progress.
  • Working as a team-member within the wider school staff and liaising with other relevant individuals such as educational psychologists and parents.
