  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!)
Try having a conversation with your paraprofessional outside of the school to resolve the issue in order to make it through the end of the school year. Also, try getting to know her on a more personal level.

Comments: Be professional but friendly. Ultimately, you are responsible for what happens in the classroom including her actions. For example, if she does something to a student or gets accused of something, it will fall back on you. It makes it harder for you to give her instructions if you get too personal. I speak from experience.
