Case: Disruptive Para
You have a para that comes through your classroom at different times throughout the day. She would like to be "cool" and tries to friend the students. She is very disruptive and allows students to do things that you would never allow. How do you talk to the para without causing hurt feelings?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I encountered the same issue at the beginning of the school year. The first thing I did was explain to my para the expectations that I have set for myself as the classroom teacher. I also explained to her that we needed to be on one accord, so the students will understand that we are a team working on the common goal of preparing our students to be academically and behaviorally successful. Then I ask her not to take on the role of "friend" with the students, due to their lack of boundaries. I explained to her that our students filters are very low to none, and acting as a friend to them could create a situation that is perceived as inappropriate and that allows students to feel that they can cross a line that they should not cross with an adult. I also made sure that she had very defined task and outcomes that had to be completed by the end of each class period, which left her no time to play with students. When students would begin playing with her or say something that I felt was inappropriate, I would reiterate that we do not talk or play with adults in that manner, which reinforced my expectations to my students and the para. Once I addressed the issue with her, it took about two weeks to train her and my students on the expectations for appropriately interacting with with the adults/students in the classroom. |

| Comments: If I were in this situation, I would do this because it is important to address the boundary between being a professional and trying to befriend students. This can be discussed professionally and the teacher can bring up the different rules the class has. |
