Education Endowment Foundation:New guidance on the deployment of teaching assistants

New guidance on the deployment of teaching assistants

Five practical and evidence-based recommendations to maximise their impact.

We’re an independent charity dedicated to breaking the link between family income and educational achievement. We do this by supporting schools, colleges, and early years settings to improve teaching and learning through better use of evidence.

Take part in an EEF project

We’re recruiting schools, colleges, and early years settings to take part in trials of high-potential programmes. We’re also subsidising programmes that have previously shown to have a positive impact on student attainment, so more schools can benefit.

Search your school, college, or early years setting to find out which trials you could join, and which subsidised programmes are on offer where you are.
