Why do we need an Association?

Schools of the future will have increasing numbers of support staff to augment and enhance the work of the teachers. The DCSF vision for the future of the teaching profession is clear. The Government is aspiring to a situation where:

1. Classrooms are rich in trained adults – such as technicians, learning mentors, teaching assistants and administrative staff – who support learning to new high standards
2. Heads and teachers use ICT as a tool to lever up pupil standards and help teachers make better use of their time
   Teachers are freed to concentrate on planning high-quality lessons by making full use of teaching assistants and other trained adults
3. Pupils have lessons tailored to their individual needs – allowing us to move beyond arguments about selection and how we group pupils
