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!) Hurt feelings may or may not occur when discussing expectation with the Para. Although it is important to have a good rapport with your Para the student's needs are more important. Have a plan of expectations in writing for the students, the teacher (yourself), and the Para, and explain that this is what is needed for students to reach their learning goals. Let the Para know when she/he is being effective with the students and remind the Para when she/he is doing a good job, and thank the Para for doing a good job.
