What is a Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA)?
A Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) is an advanced role in schools, involving more responsibilities than a standard teaching assistant. HLTAs support classroom teachers by managing classes, assisting with lesson planning, and delivering targeted learning interventions. They often work with students who need extra help, ensuring lessons run smoothly even when the teacher is absent.
Introduced in 2003, the HLTA role was part of a government initiative aimed at raising standards in the classroom and easing teachers’ workloads. Today, HLTAs are key contributors to a well-functioning school environment and play a critical role in improving student outcomes.
Key Responsibilities:
- Classroom Leadership: Lead lessons in the absence of the teacher, maintaining discipline and ensuring a productive learning environment.
- Lesson Planning & Delivery: Plan and deliver lessons independently, tailored to students’ needs, especially in subjects requiring extra support.
- Learning Support: Provide targeted help for students struggling with literacy, numeracy, or SEN, offering individual or group assistance.
- Assessment & Feedback: Assess student performance, provide feedback, and support teachers in evaluating progress.
- Specialist Support: Focus on key areas like literacy or numeracy, addressing students’ specific academic needs.
- Collaboration: Work closely with teachers, contributing to lesson plans and supporting student interventions.
- Professional Development: Stay updated with ongoing professional development, keeping teaching strategies and knowledge current.
- Administrative Duties: Manage classroom resources, records, and assist in preparing lesson materials.
- Communication with Parents: Provide feedback to parents on student progress and maintain positive relationships with guardians.
- Behaviour Management: Implement strategies to promote positive behaviour and ensure a safe, inclusive learning environment.
Salary Expectations:
- Entry-Level: £18,000 to £22,000 per year
- Average Salary: £22,000 to £28,000 per year
- Experienced HLTA: £28,000 to £35,000 per year (depending on location, experience, and responsibilities)
