Setting Your Paras Up for Success: Building Effective Teacher-Paraeducators Partnerships
Register Today
Paraeducators have never been more essential to a school’s support system than they are today. We need effective paras who can partner with teachers as part of a team dedicated to ensuring every student succeeds. Teachers are most often tasked with building and nurturing these relationships, and acting in a supervisory capacity, yet they rarely receive training on this topic.
What can you do to ensure your paraeducators are set up for success?
Join Dr. Skip Greenwood, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, published author, and co-founder of 321 Insight, and Mr. Roland Espericueta, District Coordinator of Professional Learning for San Marcos CISD, Texas, as they discuss the importance of teacher/paraeducator partnerships, the strategies to employ to build them, and best practices from districts. Learn best practices for:
- Developing and defining paraeducator roles
- Building positive teacher-paraeducator relationships
- Supporting effective supervision of paraeducators
- Creating meaningful opportunities for paraeducators to make contributions

Prior to the pandemic nearly half of K-12 students had experienced enough trauma and adversity to impact learning and behavior. While we don’t yet fully know the impact of the disruption, unrest, and loss of the last 18 months, one thing is certain: what lies ahead is a tsunami-sized wave of stress and trauma, for everyone, as school resumes this fall. How can you prepare and ensure your staff holds a trauma-informed mindset and a trauma-responsive skill set to address the challenges ahead?
Watch this informative webinar as respected psychologist and educational consultant, Dr. Will Henson discusses the increased levels of dysregulation that students, caregivers, and staff are likely to experience as schools reopen this fall and what you can do to prepare appropriately. He also shares valuable trauma-informed strategies and best practices that will help educators and staff be able to:
