Using Paraprofessionals for Distance Learning


Listen Later

Lots of you have been asking for ways you can be using paraprofessionals for distance learning. In this quick episode I'm sharing different ideas and ways to use your assistants to help take some of the workload off you, and have a positive and successful year as a team.

The main thing that I say to anyone who asks me this question is to look at your assistants as your team. Everyone brings something different to the table - and this is really important to remember.

Don't be afraid to ask for help, or to give your paraprofessionals areas of responsibility. This is amazing for helping them to grow professionally and personally.. But it also means that you have more time to work on other things - and to stop over-piling your plate - or your desk!

What Am I Talking About?
  • Ways you can use paraprofessionals/assistants during distance learning.
  • Prepping.
  • Recordings.
  • Daily videos.
  • Video challenges.
  • Story time.
  • Professional development.
  • Questions.
  • Observations.
  • Notes.

What ways are you using your paraprofessionals? Let us know in the comments down below.
