Guest Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 does any one know if the higher level teaching assistant grade is equivalent to n n e b grade. the headteacher in my school thought it was higher but i disagreed as you have to do two years constant to get the n n e b and isnt it more work experience and work modules for higher grade teaching ass. hope someone can help thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_1999 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 As far as I am aware HLTA is a status as opposed to a qualification but I could be wrong and am happy to be corrected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I think you are right Geraldine. The HLTA status is awarded based on your work experience and knowledge whereas the NNEB or similar is a qualification. So the two cannot be compared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_4544 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 The HLTA is a status not a qualification. All our staff are NNEB but only 2 have HLTA status and get paid at a higher rate for PPA cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_79 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 There's alot of work involved in obtaining the status. Standards etc to be met like NQTs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_4544 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Our HLTAs had to take part in some training and also show evidence they met standards a bit like teachers threshold payments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 its a struggle im having with our GOVERNORS i cant say anything else as yet because its going to employment tribunal and possibly a county court case. although on friday they offered me my nursery nurse hours and pay back but only to be called a teaching ass. this is so they think they have not completely lost face with parents and staff.
