Yes bros I like that. Turns out we have an autism expert on staff but the CM has not asked for her input. :rolleyes:
I'm a para. We also say TA here though it can mean either aide, or assistant which is what we are. Anyway, yes, I'll be curious to see if...
I am very familiar with the case manager but she seems to be just as clueless as I am about how to handle this and to be fair, she's had a big...
There's always subbing.
Feedback? Do some people get feedback? :lol: In my dreams. Well the kids tell me I'm doing a great job.
I'm a TA at a large high school and we have just gotten a young man of 16 in who is wildly out of hand. Like a pirate's parrot, he knows just a...
Ha! In our school the paras are so caught up in administering to kids' physical needs that they are completely unable to spend time tutoring kids...

I make more than the OP makes and have benefits, but may have to go into another line of work b/c I'm now single and my paycheck won't cover my...
There are 8 of us paras at my school and 3 of us are certified. 1 more is working on it.
and not sure which way to turn right now. I'm newly certified in English Language Arts 5-12 and sped, mild to mod. I'm over 50 with a college...
Please ignore that last post--I was trying to start a new thread and not sure what happened. . .
I didn't get a teaching job this summer and not sure which way to turn right now. I'm newly certified in English Language Arts 5-12 and sped,...
I also leave names of students who slept thru the class and didn't attempt to do any work. If they did the work and then slept, then no. If they...
