Case: Undermining Paraprofessional
Mr. Mitchell's high school special education classroom has nine students and two paraprofessionals. Both paraprofessionals arrive on time, complete tasks, and work hard. However, one paraprofessional feels that Mr. Mitchell does not run his classroom the way she would. When asked to hand out small, edible items for good behavior, this paraprofessional refuses in front of students. In the middle of a lesson, the paraprofessional makes negative comments to Mr. Mitchell. She also gives students 50 cents for snacks and other things outside of the classroom becoming the students' favorite which makes it hard for Mr. Mitchell to control is classroom as they only want to listen to the paraprofessional.
What can Mr. Mitchell do to co-exist with this paraprofessional to create a healthy, classroom environment?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would definitely have a conversation with the para outside of class. This is not appropriate behavior. If that does not help, admin would have to be contacted. If she is being a hinder to your classroom, she needs to be removed. |

Comments: I do not agree with this, the paraprofessional needs a more in-depth discussion. |
