A paraprofessional is a special education classroom support person. There are different names for this role. Some districts call them education support professionals. (ESP’s). I was a para for a year before taking my teaching job. Paras are awesome and a very important part of a school team!

We have general ed paraprofessionals too.

I’m a Paraprofessional that has worked for 20 years in severe sped. I just retired last week. I’m going to miss my students and my co-workers, but I live in a small town, so hopefully, I’ll see a lot of the students from our school and a lot my co-workers are my friends too!

I have to admit, I'm not super sure what a paraprofessional does? I've never worked with one or had any interaction with someone in that role. Is there a reason you're looking for one? And what do they do?

No, there in the break room, dodging responsibility 😠.

The short: Would anyone be up for starting regular virtual co-working sessions? I’m thinking 2-3 rounds of [5 mins to set intentions : 45 mins of work : 10 min break]. The long: One technique I’ve found to stay focused is “body doubling,” i.e., having another person present while you’re working. I’ve had some success replicating this over Zoom/Google Meet. Everyone works on their own thing and stays muted during work blocks, but videos stay on. It reminds me of studying in the library vs at home
