    Paraprofessional Survival Kit--FREEBIE

    This year we have six paraprofessionals that we truly could not live without! This summer my teaching team and I worked hard to come up with a paraprofessional handbook to streamline our classroom procedures and communicate our expectations to our paras (old and new!). 

    To go with our handbooks, I made these Paraprofessional Survival Kits. They include lots of the essential items (mostly office supplies) that our paras will need this year. It was a great, practical back to school gift and it also aligned with our handbook. For instance, one thing we want paras to do this year is share their thoughts or concerns on a Concern Clipboard in a central team communication area in the classroom so we included post-it notes in the bag. Also, we have paras leading groups so we want them to record student progress and take notes to let us know how things are going. Therefore, we provided each para with a notebook. 




    I made up cute cards to attach to each survival kit which you can grab for FREE in my TPT Store!

    Enjoy!

    Thanks for the Freebie. It's a very cute idea. Can you share more about your handbook? Or is it the guide that you have posted in the a previous post?

    If you are able to share what your handbook looks like, I'd love to see a copy. I've been "working on one" for 6 months. I haven't gotten very far. Every time I see a page in something I print or photocopy it, but I haven't done much more than that. And I have a feeling I'll be meeting my new para soon.....

    If you are able to share it let me know:) Thanks!

    Stay tuned! I hope to have my handbook "blog-ready" (free of personal information) by Monday!

    That would be amazing! My school year starts Tuesday and I would love to start out the year implementing some new ideas with my para's. I'm sure your handbook would be a perfect starting point!
