Q33 Ensure that colleagues working with them are appropriately involved in supporting learning and understand the roles they are expected to fulfil.
Colleagues representing the wider workforce of the school have important roles to play in supporting children and young people to learn in and beyond the classroom. Learning and teaching is more effective when teachers and colleagues work together to draw on their expertise and specialist skills, and to share effective practice. Collaboration, and the sharing of effective practice among colleagues, benefits learners and all those working with and supporting them. Team working is a key element contributing to the personalisation of learning.
