We've set out a selection of questions in an interview record sheet for a teaching assistant (TA) supporting a pupil with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND). It also has:
- Pointers on what to look for in answers
- Space to record responses and an evidence score
Adapt it to your school's context and the role
The interview record sheet isn't intended to be prescriptive or to give an exhaustive list of questions. Personalise it and add questions specific to:
- The role you're recruiting for
- Your own setting
- Any issues your school is facing
We worked with 3 of our associate education experts to produce these questions and pointers on what to look for in answers.
