Who’s this for?Aspiring Teaching Assistant's, existing Teaching Assistant's, Higher Level Teaching Assistant's and Support workers
The Outstanding Teaching Assistant Programme (OTAP) is for teaching assistants who are, or who have the potential to be, outstanding in their roles. It is intended to develop the potential for teaching assistants to have a wider impact on improving the quality of teaching and learning across the school.
Designed and facilitated by experienced school leaders and teachers, OTAP forms part of the OLEVI Teaching & Learning Syllabus which has gained a national reputation for raising standards in teaching and learning.
The programme focuses on a range of aspects of teaching and learning, such as challenge, engagement, assessment, differentiation, questioning and planning. There are facilitated practical sessions and lesson observations at the host school, with linked practical tasks back in your own school to apply what you learn.
OTAP enables teaching assistants to:
• place a greater emphasis on the purpose and value of the lessons they support
• raise levels of engagement and achievement in learning
• use different methods and styles of support to challenge learners
• innovate and take risks
• have a bigger impact on the planning and assessment for the learners they support
• demonstrate a higher level understanding of teaching and learning
• be able to coach their peers to raise performance
OTAP enables delegates to share ideas and strategies to help move their school forward. Delegates gain confidence in feeling able to voice their views and ideas, and feel empowered to take the lead in their development as “learning assistants” with a focus on facilitating the pupils learning experience.
