Learner task ownership

Teaching Assistants prioritise helping learners to develop ownership of tasks rather than task completion. • Teaching Assistants aim to give learners the least amount of help first and allow sufficient wait time, so learners can respond to a question or attempt the stage of a task independently. • Teaching Assistants intervene appropriately, through adaptations to learning and tasks, when pupils demonstrate they are unable to proceed, gradually releasing responsibility over to the learner as their understanding and confidence develop.
