The results showed that all participants (N = 163) had been working as TAs for between two months and 32
years (M = 9.9 years). The number of schools the participants (N = 163) had worked in ranged from 1 to 8, with
the average being between 2 and 3 (M = 2.3) schools. Three of the participants (TA21, TA149 and TA154) noted
they had worked in both secondary and primary schools, and four noted they worked across multiple campuses
of the same school (TA13, TA38, TA88 and TA128). Eighteen of the participants (11%) indicated they had
worked as a teacher. The average time as a teacher was 12 years but the majority of replies were in the range of
14 years or less.
