Some lessons l re-learned this past week:
* show gratitude to all the people working in our schools and district
* paras, like other staff deserve raises
* paras need to be paid to be back at school when teachers are so they can begin collaborating with the team
*paras need to be paid to attend professional development days
*paras need to attend IEP meetings and be paid if the meetings are before or after their contracted time
* Stephen Hinkle always teaches me more. Click here to see the 15 suggestions Stephen had about working with paras.
* I'm sure Dr. Ross Greene would agree with these statements, Paras Do Well
When They Can. Teachers Do Well When They Can. Parents We Do Well When We Can. and we know Kids Do Well When They Can.
Here's to a year of gratitude and support for each person on your child's team, remember, this includes you and your child!
