Teaching assistants are one of the most significant resources we have in supporting inclusive education. The difference between meaningful inclusion and unintended dependence frequently comes down to how teaching assistants are led, supported and strategically deployed across a school.
Designed specifically for principals, assistant principals, heads of department and school leadership teams, this webinar explores the critical role leaders play in ensuring teaching assistants positively impact both student learning and inclusion outcomes.
Drawing on the latest international research, alongside practical examples from schools across Australia and New Zealand, this session will challenge common practices and provide evidence-based strategies for building effective, collaborative support models that strengthen inclusive classrooms — rather than unintentionally creating barriers.
School leaders will leave with practical guidance to help them:
- Clarify the role and purpose of teaching assistants within inclusive education
- Improve how teaching assistants are deployed across classrooms and support settings
- Strengthen teacher–teaching assistant collaboration and communication
- Reduce student dependence and increase participation, independence and belonging
- Build sustainable whole-school approaches that improve outcomes for students with disability
This is an essential session for leaders committed to creating inclusive schools where support staff are not simply present — but are empowered to make a meaningful difference.
