· Take responsibility for safeguarding and promoting the welfare of pupils.
· Provide meaningful feedback on pupil behaviour, relationships and attitudes.
· Support positive behaviour and concentration levels of the children and adapt own behaviour and responses to any change or escalations in behaviour of the children.
· Establish a positive relationship with pupils in order to support them in feeling safe and enabling them to enjoy and learn.
· Promote and encourage independence and personal development and maintain high expectations of behaviour at all times and support in the achievement of this.
· Implement, and when appropriate, adjust learning activities as agreed with the teacher. Reinforce learning concepts presented by teachers.
· Support learning by arranging/providing resources for lessons/activities under the direction of the teacher.
