In those classes, he has a "Co-Teacher" in the room. Their official titles are Paraprofessional. Should he expect these parapros to teach like a Co-teacher would or allow them to monitor the students behaviors and help the "special education" students they are assigned to? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Since parapros do not necessarily have the same training or certification as a certified teacher, it is inappropriate to expect them to function as co-teachers. Parapros are a great asset to the classroom, and they can monitor student behavior and help students when they're working individually or in small groups.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Rated On: July 9, 2017 5:28 pm Rated By: uTaGuv
