Case: Parapro Not Helping
In Mr. Franklin's Kindergarten class, he has a parapro that he gets along with really well. However, the parapro constantly does things in class to cause the students to get off task. During the morning work time, she will cut up with the students and call them to her desk. Then, during small group time when bothe the teacher and her have a group, she will get up from her group after the students have started working to go and do other things. The teacher has talked to her about this a little bit. The problem is that he does not know what else to say without making things awkward between them. He believes this causes disruption in the class when the small groups are not being tended to like they should be. What are some ways to tactfully handle this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mr. Franklin is in a tough situation since he must work with his parapro for a year. However, the parapro is actually hurting the academic process and he must address the situation as the teacher in charge of the class regardless if it hurts the relationship personally. Another alternative is to speak with the person in charge of the parapros and have that person address all of the paraprofessionals together as a group and go over specifically what is acceptable and what is not in a classroom. |

| Comments: This is a helpful suggestion since other teachers may have similar issues. If the person in charge of the paraprofessionals addresses the expectations with everyone they can also have the parapros sign off stating they understand the rules, which will help if they continue to disrupt classroom activities. |
