In 2015 we saw Josie Wilkinson (West Midlands) and Jenny Boyce (South West) along with 7 other regional winners travel to London to attend the Outstanding HLTA of the Year Awards. The HLTA National Assessment Partnership (HNAP) HLTA of the Year award is aimed at teaching assistants who have gained HLTA status and who go above and beyond to demonstrate the vital role which HLTAs play within schools.
Nominations now open
Best Practice Network is now welcoming nominations for the HLTA of the Year 2016 from the West Midlands, South West and the East of England.
Who’s eligible?
To be eligible HLTAs must have been awarded the status by the Training and Development Agency or HNAP and must continue to meet all of the HLTA standards in their everyday work.
If you work with an HLTA who gives exceptional support then please nominate them for this prestigious award. All HLTAs put forward will receive a certificate to acknowledge their nomination.
The deadline for nominations is the end of this school term (July 2016), so download the nomination pack and submit it as soon as possible for a chance for your colleague to be crowned HLTA of the Year 2016.
National Early Years Teacher Day is back on Wednesday, April 17th and it's a fantastic opportunity to shower our incredible Early Years Teachers with appreciation for the magic they bring to young lives.
We recognise the vital role Mentors play in the success of the Early Career Framework. To celebrate their dedication and contributions to the programme, we have launched 'Mentor of the Month'. This months winner is Mark Richards from the Marches School.
