As a Professional Learning Champion School with Australian Teacher Aide (ATA) for five consecutive years, Como Secondary College in Western Australia is a shining example of how schools can build the professional capability of their Education Assistants (EAs) through sustained and purposeful use of online learning.
Recently, I had the opportunity and privilege to lead ATA’s introductory event for school leaders on implementing the Australian Teaching Assistant Professional Standards (ATAPS) framework. It was so exciting and empowering to see keen school leaders, the first in Australia, take their initial steps toward using the ATAPS framework for their teaching assistant’s performance and professional growth.
