Classroom paraprofessionals can be a valuable resource for teachers. Which of the following strategies demonstrates effective ways of using a classroom aide?
  1. Assign the classroom aide to chores only to keep roles separate and clear
  2. Ask the classroom aide to talk to parents for you when your meeting schedule is too busy
  3. Train the classroom aide and provide information on IEPs
  4. Use the classroom aide to help you handle really difficult behavioral issues
Explanation
Answer: C - Use paraprofessionals effectively by training them and providing necessary information. Don’t give the classroom aide the jobs you don’t want to do, but share in the “dirty work.” Develop trust and open communication and challenge her to grow professionally. Handle conflicts quickly and respectfully, treat her as an equal, and give her additional challenges as she gains experience.
