  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 last thing that you want to do is to create a wall between you and your paraprofessional, because this is not fair to the children. Personally, I think that it is important to show your paraprofessional that you appreciate her. For example, there are days that I bring my paraprofessional breakfast to show her that she is appreciated. Doing little things to show that you care, will go a long way.

Comments: I don't know if showing appreciation for the paraprofessional when they fail to do their job will do any more that further exasperate the teacher.
