It serves as an indicative summary of current research and thinking in this field and as a point of departure for future research and development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith contributions from leading researchers, the book draws together empirical work on the deployment and impact of teaching assistants from various perspectives and from a range of methodological approaches. It highlights and celebrates the vital everyday contributions teaching assistants make to their schools and their communities: from their role within classrooms, to their moment-by-moment interactions with pupils and teachers. The book examines the effect that teaching assistants can have on pupils' learning and wellbeing, and considers issues of over-dependence on classroom paraprofessionals and the unintended consequences to which this can lead. Bringing together work from a journal special issue with brand-new and updated chapters, the contributions offer insight into the liminal space between educator, caregiver, behaviour manager, and facilitator of learning and of peer relations, which characterizes the teaching assistant role. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis timely and important book will be essential reading for academics, researchers, and students interested in special educational needs, disability, and inclusion, and those interested in the wider topic of paraprofessionals in labour markets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRob Webster\u003c\/strong\u003e is a reader in Education and Director of the Education Research, Innovation and Consultancy unit at the University of Portsmouth, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnke A. de Boer\u003c\/strong\u003e is an associate professor at the Inclusive and Special Educational Needs unit, University of Groningen, the Netherlands. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 212\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.48 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 27, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51892031226144,"sku":"9781032208626","price":93.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/zjOEqVgsY9781032208626.webp?v=1781978493","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/teaching-assistants-inclusion-and-special-educational-needs-international-perspectives-on-the-role-of-paraprofessionals-in-schools-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
