Our school district has classroom paras K-4. We are extraordinarily fortunate – the students are extraordinarily fortunate. I trained a third grade paraprofessional this morning on some Tier 1 strategies who was thrilled to learn and thrilled to help her student. For all the complaining we all do about our jobs – not enough time, not enough pay for the workload and extra time spent, etc., these moments put it all back into perspective. An important takeaway to end the week.
Indeed an important takeaway! Our first priority is to our students. That’s what makes the job more than a job.

Always good to look for the shining lights! So glad you had this positive interaction and even happier about the para-pros enthusiasm.
