Best Practices for Teachers to Support and
Evolve Skills of Their Paraprofessionals:
Effective Student and Classroom Supports
Presenter:
Dr. Patrick Schwarz
Description:
The focus of this workshop is for teachers to learn new ways of communicating, collaborating, modeling and demonstrating skills and instructional best practices to their paraprofessionals. The goal is for paraprofessionals to promote greater independence and effectiveness with student learning. Best practice areas reviewed include:
-
- promoting student dignity and respectful language
- teaching skills
- promoting participation
- achieving student goals
- using student interests in learning
- promoting problem-solving
Co-support models that come from teacher and paraprofessional co-teaching practice will be taught in the areas of supportive teaching, complementary teaching, parallel teaching and promoting student leadership. Effective teacher advocacy ideas will be provided, so the paraprofessional always has something to do that contributes to meaningful teaching and/or support for students. This session is dynamic and hands-on with many meaningful applications that will contribute to effective communications and collaboration between teachers and their paraprofessionals. This will lead to commendable job performance and achieving high value for the paraprofessional as an essential member of an educational team.
