  Case: Paraprofessonal Issues
I teach kindergarten. I am having issues with my paraprofessional. Even when I ask her nicely to complete a task, she agrees to complete the task but then it does not get completed. I have spoken with administration regarding this issue and conferences have been held concerning her job performance. However, it will be after the conclusion of this school year that I may get a new paraprofessional. Any suggestions for the remainder of the school year?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I'm sure you've have a personal conversation with her, but I would address the concern one additional time to determine why the tasks aren't being completed. As I ask her to complete assignments, I would still explain expectations for the task. If it still doesn't get done, I would document what is being asked of her and what isn't getting completed.
