Kickstart the School Year With Your Paras: 3 Must-Do Actions


Listen Later

Welcome to the final episode of our July Paraprofessional Series! This month, we’ve talked mindset, delegation, communication, and even heard directly from paras themselves. 

But today’s episode is all about action—because a strong team doesn’t just happen… it’s built. And it starts with YOU.

In this episode, I’m walking you through 3 simple but powerful steps you can take to start the school year off right with your paraprofessionals. These are the exact things I wish I had started doing earlier in my own career—and they’ve made all the difference.

Whether you’re working with one para or a whole team, this episode will help you lay the foundation for a school year built on respect, clarity, and collaboration.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to get your hands on a free 10-step guide to build team culture 
  • Why every para deserves a handbook and where to find one
  • Five essential questions to open the lines of communication from day one

  • 🎁 Free Team Culture Guide: spedprepacademy.com/team
  • 📘 Editable Paraprofessional Handbook: TPT Listing - 50% off through Aug. 6

Next Month’s Sneak Peek:
August is all about back-to-school success! I’ll be sharing tips for setting up your classroom, building a master schedule, and managing your caseload without overwhelm. Make sure to follow the podcast so you don’t miss an episode!
