Hey Special Ed Teacher,

In celebration of the 40th episode, I am re-releasing episode 3, an oldie but goodie!

Are you not sure how to work with your paraprofessional? Do want to work better as a team? Feeling overwhelmed and don’t know how your paraprofessional can help?

In today’s episode, I have my very first guest, Jackie Rodriguez! Jackie worked with me as a paraprofessional about 4 years ago, and today we will be sharing our 5 tips to work best with your paraprofessional! We will share our experience when we first met and what worked between us for the next two years after that. I am so excited because Jackie will be giving us her perspective that will benefit special education teachers. I hope you will share what resonated with you or tips you can share in my Facebook community.
