Becoming+a+Learning+Support+Assistant

As we have identified during the course Responding to Individual Needs in Education Learning Support Assistants (LSA’s) are vital help in a school environment especially to students with individual learning needs. Being an LSA can be a full-time or part-time job, this allows studying teachers to become an LSA whilst at university (if time permits). Having a job as an LSA will provide you with employment along with first hand practical experience in a school setting (something studying teachers don’t get much of). Below is a link to the ACT Department of Education and Training website where more information as well as application to become an LSA can be found.
