hi i am just applying for my hlta. having read all the blogs it loks like HLTA is a lot of work.

i have just recievd teh needs analysis form and struggling to look for evidence and help especially with the standards 27 onwards.

I heard that thsi is just the start

all help and advice appreciated

thanks

sorry about the spelling mistakes 'the and rec

i didn't proof read

Stds 29,30,31 are covered by the Tasks 1-3

I'm not sure what you mean by the needs analysis.Do you mean the class teaching because unless you are whole class teaching they wont entertain you.It can't be the odd lesson for HLTA it must be a regular occurance like PPA cover. It is a lot of work and to be honest not that worthwhile moneywise for some of us.I have finished mine so if you want any guidance I am willing to point you in the right direction.

I wouldn't worry about looking for evidence yet it will become much clearer when you go on the Training.

you mean the one they send out with application?

if so dont worry to much about the evidence thing, they will look at this and decide if the assessment route only is for you or the 7 days proir as well.
just think of things you do to meet the standards, anything you state as evidence on the needs analayis is not the evidence you have to use once you start to write your tasks and gather evidence for the evidence file.

like jack said, there is a work load involved but it is worth the effort especially to give your own self esteem a boost.

good luck

Hi sarah I thought, If I cant do this what hope have I got. But, I did it, didn't spend a lot of time worrying about it, and have loved the training.

It is time-consuming rather than hard, but I think most people worry about interpreting the standards correctly. The guys on here are fab, and will help all they can, so don't worry.

thanks to all of u for the messages of confident.

it makes me feel much better

I guess their was one that went out with the appplication.I didn't get that as we were told to do 3 day route.

I did 3 day route as well and recall so well that feeling after Day 1.... . There are a lot of man (woman) hours involved and as Jay said - receiving the status is a great self esteem booster however it hasn't made a scrap of difference at my school
