Mindy Fiala is our guest today.  Mindy has an A.A. from Kirkwood Community College in theater and a B.S.S from Cornell College in Mount Vernon Iowa in theater with a minor in art.  Mindy is now in her third year as a high school paraprofessional in a credit recovery program.  She helps students gain credit in subjects that they have previously failed to remain in school and graduate.  Today she will discuss what services paraprofessionals provide for the school, advice on how to work with struggling students, and how teachers can better work with paraprofessionals.  This episode is my first interview via Skype and marks a technological upgrade for the program.  I am planning to use this service in my future programs to provide more diversity in my guests.
