How much do your TAs do?

Hi, One of my TAs is doing her EYPS at the moment and got chatting to a couple of teachers on one of the college days yesterday. Both my TAs (and the TA in Reception) do observations, help with up-dating learning journals and have an input in the assessment and next steps. However, these teachers were surprised at how much she did and said that they couldn't ask their TAs to do this as they wouldn't know how! They record observations but everything else is completely left to the teacher. I never ask my TAs to take anything home (but they do off their own back occasionally) and I catch up with whatever is behind. They say that they like up-dating their key-groups journals and having an input, sometimes they check PLODs out first but usually they are absolutely fine. My other thought was that surely these TAs could do next steps if they were shown how as surely this is what we are all be doing spontaneously when working with early years children - as we are interacting with them during play, we are aware of where they are up to in their learning and what would help them develop their learning? Or, am I expecting too much from my TAs? I know a few people on here give their TAs PPA time on a Friday afternoon and have planning meetings? Also, one of the teachers basically laughed at our system of collecting observations and linking them to the appropriate aspect and sage and stage, using photos when possible. She said she didn't have time for this. Unfortunately, my TA didn't have time to ask her what she did actually do to track progress. Are we doing to much - it seems to be what others on here are doing? Otherwise, how do you evidence & track progress? Thanks Green Hippo x
