What is the role of a Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA)?
A HLTA supports the classroom teacher to allow them to focus on the teaching and learning in a classroom. This means working with individuals, small groups of students or a whole class, under the guidance of the classroom teacher. It might require you to create resources, support food technology lessons or demonstrate practical food skills and techniques to students. HLTA’s who have the skills, expertise and experience could be asked to undertake specified work, such as planning and teaching full lessons under the supervision of a qualified teacher.
