I'm a paraeducator who has worked with elementary students with special needs for 14 years. Time flies! Throughout the years, I've seen many changes in the job responsibilities and requirements.
Our Local is constantly striving to find ways to not only make working conditions better, but to make us be better paras. I joined this forum to learn what other school districts are doing to
support and train paraeducators. Jeanne Прочные сейфы в Челябинске Hello, my name is Jill, and after researching many occupations, I've decided I'd like to be a araeducator. I injured my wrists
and hands four years ago while in training to be a medical coder. I've been told by an occupational therapist that I need a job that is "a little of this, and a little of that"... nothing too
repetitive (like data entry) or too heavy (I can pick up my mini dachshunds). I have found that I love to learn (I'm trying to teach myself Spanish), and I really enjoyed studying with other
people. I especially enjoyed helping my friend in our class who is dyslexic and can only hear out of one ear. I don't have any experience with children so I have volunteered to help at an
after-school program at our community center. Can anybody think of any reason I would have a problem doing this job in regard to a hand problem? I have a friend who is a E teacher at an
elementary school and she thinks I would do fine in this job. Anybody out there experienced tendinitis or carpal tunnel?
Rose Gilbert, Instructional Specialist Hello Everyone, My name is Edna Numa and my area of studie is an AA in araprofessional at Kaplan University on line, I'm a mother of three kids two boys and
one girl. I'm glad be to on board with National Resource for araprofessionals.
Hello everyone! My name is Rhonda McCormick, I have been a araprofessional for 10 years now. I have worked with children with Autism for 9 of those 10 years, 6 as a one-on-one. I am currently
working in a high school setting but have worked in elementary and middle schools as well. I passed the english and math portion. I can't seem to pass the classroom assessment portion.
3108 Canal Street, New Orleans, LA 70119 This is how I decided on my screen name: I was getting acquainted with a new sub over lunch in the staff cafe one day, and he asked me what all I had done
at the school. I told him I had started out as an aide in math and reading, then had moved on to<

As someone said in an earlier post, paraeducators are the glue that make schools work. You are on the front lines, working with some of the most challenging students, going the extra mile to make
sure students are successful. Training and supervision are key to your success. Training for all teachers who work with paraeducators should also be a requirement in all districts as well as
teacher preparation programs I hope that there is something that I might contribute to your discussions on paraprofessionals. Let me know if there is something I can help you with. I am a ara
with a degree, and there are many aras with degrees. I am retired from the computer field, so I do not need the ara salary to live. I always off and on used my ara job to give the children one on
one or small groups instruction. I must say the majority of the teachers are very respectful, but you always get one or two, who feel you are garbage under their feet. I feel the latter have
mental problems, and I try to just ignore them, and on one occasion, I had to discuss it with the principals. I do not want to spend my day giving test, and doing clerical work. I can 100% teach
or tutor the students, while the teacher does the testing and the clerical work. I do have a few teachers, who feel it is their day off, when I come to the classroom, and the principal addressed
this after observing, that I was the only one teaching that day with my own materials, that supported the classroom lessons and the standards. If you want more money, you have to take an extra
job, which I did, when I was younger. The para salary has always been low, but I do not have the same responsibilities as a certified teacher, so I could work extra. I use to tutor privately in
my home also, which can pay more than a para's salary, or you could do it just to help the parents and the students, as I did. My advice to all teachers, and trust me they are reading here, is to
treat the paras, like you want to be treated. Keep the communication open and exchange telephone numbers, so you can always clear the air. You cannot do this in front of the students, and
sometimes there are "tensions. " It is not what you say, but how you say it. RES ECT IS THE NAME OF THE GAME. DO NOT MISTREAT CHILDREN IN OUR RESENCE. I HAD A TEACHER who would have a "meltdown,"
if the children asked for some of her snacks, that she had openly displayed. She kept saying over and over, that she could not afford to give six students snacks. (Special Education around 7-9
years young. ) I got so sick of her complaining, that I brought snacks and after two days, I was told not to NEVER give her students anything, yet she ate my snacks and drinks also. lol She was a
big GOSSI about EVERYONE, including me. She was just CRAZY! When she went to the director on me, than I told what was happening in the room, for she went first. She tried to kiss my you know what
after that, but I knew she was a snake, and the school year could not end soon enough for me. I smiled and just went into my "robot" mood for her, but I still loved helping the poor children that
she was fussing with for not bringing snacks and anything else. SHE WITHHELD food from certain students, when she would share her snacks. It pained me.... The principal used me the last two days
to do something for her, and this nutty teacher yelled at me, and said I knew that I SHOULD BE HEL ING HER pack her stuff and moving it to her car. I told her to talk to the director, for I was
working for the director. The students had gone home for the day, and the director needed the paras to help her for the next two FINAL days. She had a "meltdown" because I was not finishing the
term with her, but I had been "cool" for so long, that once she yelled at me, there was NO WAY I was returning to her classroom. She stalked me the final two days, but I just ignored her, and
turned my head, and said NOTHING. God help anyone she teaches and her future paras.
