25. 5 Virtual Ways Paraprofessionals Can Assist Teachers
Episode description
Paraprofessionals are such an important part of our special education teams. When we shifted - overnight - to distance learning, you may have been left wondering how you could use these team members.
In today’s episode, I will be sharing with you 5 easy ways paraprofessionals can assist you - and connect with students - virtually.
If you didn’t catch last week’s episode where I talked with Kelsey Smith from Exceptional Elementary about what paraprofessionals are and how to work with them, I want you to pause this episode and go listen to that one first.
Okay, I have so much good stuff for you today, I cannot wait to share. Let’s jump on in..
In this episode you will learn:
- How paraprofessionals can prepare art and social/emotional lessons for students
- What type of professional development paraprofessionals can engage in now that will help you later.
- How paraprofessionals can participate in virtual circle time.
- How paraprofessionals can help gather data.
- One way paraprofessionals can interact with students to revisit and reinforce skills and content from earlier in the year.
