Week 13
Posted on April 14, 2008
Short of posting my paraprofessional paper on here, I have so much to talk about in regards to paras! I have been using these last two weeks to really formulate how I want to supervise next school year and what areas I need to grow in. I get along and work well with the paraprofessionals I work with currently but there are pieces missing. Some of it is time in the building (they have been here so much longer than me) and some is my inexperience and not understanding my role in terms of supervising. I feel like I am forming a good understanding of my role as a supervisor and collecting the tools that I need to work on. The paper was a nice way to list out what I need to work on in a document I can refer to when I am building my schedule next year, "oh yeah Cortney, you said you would meet with every para weekly individually."

Cortney,
The paper also helped me to see where I can improve. Courses like this help us to reexamine our practices and to make changes. We get so busy in the day to day stuff, that we just keep doing the same thing over and over. Now we won't.

Cortney,
The paper helped me get really focused too. I am thinking that I am going to make a list like that at least twice a year to help me reflect and keep priorities in check.

PS

The paper helped me to focus and goal set too. Wish we had a course in college on how to train para's and get along with the (politics) 60 other women :) Sara
