Does your school district train paraprofessionals? Especially the ones in sever ASD classrooms. If so how? Are there any great websites? Is anyone willing to share training PowerPoint slides? I’d like suggestions to bring to my supervisor on how to help training these new employees

New to the bowl I don't know what to do anymore 😭 I've only been teaching 2 years but I don't think I can do this, I cry almost every day after school in my car and I know my students deserve better than this.

I realized that a senior associate has been bcc’ing the partner when they send an “admonishing email” about things I missed. This seems… kind of backstabbing but please let me know otherwise.

Hello anyone still post here?

Good morning. This is my 20th year as a AA Para. I have missed my students so much! However, I am a little nervous to return. I know I will protect myself, and I already constantly clean, but my k-3 babies will not wear a mask. I usually get a really bad cold at beginning of school year because of new germs. Anyone else a little nervous? Any suggestions?

Hello! I am 1:1 ParaPro for a 7th grader. We’ve been together for 6 years now. Any other 1:1?

I am not sure I can continue to work in a system that refuses to let go of people who continue not to do their job. Kids deserve better.

A paraprofessional's job is more than waiting for instruction from a teacher for activities for the students. It's common sense. What would you do for them if they were yours?

Is anyone here from Illinois?

Anyone going to school to become a Special Education Teacher? I am currently in my 3rd year working towards a BA. Anyone have any tips on process, testing for licensure and pro's/con's?

Going back to in-person learning has been quite a challenge. We have 4 in-person and 8 virtual. The 4 in-person have done as well as to be expected, however their behaviors have been less than desired. One is being considered for going back to virtual due to behaviors. It's next to impossible to expect them to keep masks on and when they do, they're usually nasty or wet. I have PPEs but things do happen in the spur of the moment and it's hard to stop and put on gloves and such.

Hello, everyone! Looking forward to a great year!
