Teaching Assistant Forum is a Success

Sunshine & Smiles held a TA Forum for teaching assistants who support children with Down syndrome. 

This meeting took place at 21 Co. Shop & Café in Headingley, and TA's from all over Leeds attended. 

The Forum was a great opportunity to share experiences and hear different techniques. 

When is the next one?

  • 27th November 2019
  • 21 Co. Shop & Café
  • 1:45pm – 3pm.

The session will be free of charge but there will be refreshments available to buy from the café.

Specialist guests plus staff from the Sunshine & Smiles will be there to share information & resources.

It is also an important opportunity for teaching assistants to ask questions and share their knowledge, resources & experience with each other.

The aim is to run these sessions every term.

Please share with your schools and ask them to contact ailith@sunshineandsmiles.org.uk to confirm attendance.

NB: There is free parking above the shopping area.
