PARAPROS: Hats off to them

As a paraprofessional, general education teacher, special education teacher, as well as an inclusion and autism consultant for a multi-school district agency, I have had opportunities to work alongside some amazing paraprofessionals, both male and female. What a difference a paraprofessional can make in the life of a student!

Kudos to the Coeur d’Alene Press for sharing the article on paraprofessionals in Saturday’s newspaper, helping to ensure that others recognize a paraprofessional’s substantial contribution to supporting our teachers in meeting the needs of all students, helping students to succeed in school and beyond. Paraprofessionals: You Rock!
