Classroom Management and the Paraprofessional
(Virtual Workshop)

The word “para” came from the Greek and means; next to, alongside, to support. How can a paraprofessional, working alongside a classroom teacher, support a successful classroom environment? 

In this three part series, participants will;

• Gain an understanding of the four components to a successful classroom environment; Climate/Culture, Expectations, Rules and Routines, Acknowledgement (which includes providing feedback and behavior corrections)
• Develop an understanding of their role in each of those components
• Explore tools and strategies to implement and support a successful classroom environment
• Recognize the “drivers” and functions of behavior as well as strategies to address those drivers/functions 
• Create Action Plans to use in their settings
