Paraeducators
Posted on April 22, 2008
The reading about paraeducators was so thought provoking. It is nice to have "experts" write about stuff I believe and thought. Why do our peers believe stuff if someone else (who has to live at least 50 miles away and charge at least 100 dollars an hour to be respectable) says it and not us? A good para is a great assest to the student and school, and not so great one is another student on my caseload. I will definately change my para training and approach next year, although I don't feel quite so quilty about what I have (and haven't) done after having time to mull over the reading (and finishing most of this years para eval forms).

Sara,
I don't think the point is for us to feel guilty. By taking this course we have learned some better ways to prepare our students for their futures. Now we just need to start making improvements in our programs.
Good luck in the changes you will make for your students.

Sara,
I think that with all the information that we have gained from this class it can just make us better at what we do. I think that we all get so busy that we don't get to see what is happening around us. I know that this class has really taught me to really look at my practices.
Good luck with all your new great ideas;it has been fun!
