Subject: [senco-forum] Job title ideas

I have a colleague who is a Teaching Assistant  in a large comprehensive 
school. Her duties include teaching literacy to small groups of  mainstream 
SEN children; supporting children with aspergers; organising the exams for 
yr 10 and 11's with SEN etc. Assessing literacy skills.  The school 
recognises her duties are totally different to that of the other T.A's in 
the school.

Her job description and pay scale are currently being reviewed and updated 
by the school. One stumbling block is changing her job title to reflect her 
duties. To remain as a TA will limit the school as to her pay scale.
Teaching Assistant doesn't reflect her current duties. The school already 
have a Senco and Assistant Senco(both teachers).

We recently thought  SEN Learning Mentor may be suitable
 Any other ideas  for a job title?
Cheers
