✅This zoning plan toolkit is designed to help new and experienced teachers become more comfortable and confident working with paraprofessionals and the paraprofessional schedule in the classroom. It’s designed to help them make decisions about how best to plan out staff duties in the classroom and minimize friction in providing direction and support to the classroom team.
✅This paraprofessional schedule and toolkit also includes tips on how to work on building relationships with staff within the classroom to help work effectively as a team, ideas for sharing feedback with staff for effective ways to provide training and coaching within the special education classroom.
✅Some of what is shared in this is information I’ve had on the blog, but the manual provides more detail than I can go into in blog posts. And it’s all in one place! It is designed primarily for self-contained and resource classrooms serving students with severe disabilities, although it can be used with any type of special education team.
