As an educator, you are the leader in the classroom.
You are leading children, parents, paraprofessionals, other service providers,
and community members. Consider your role as this leader. Answer the following
questions, using supports fromthe readings and outside sources. Each answer
should be between 150-250 words.
- Collaboration
is an essential component to early childhood education. Why is
collaboration necessary to meet the needs of young learners and their
families? Cite evidence and specific codes of ethics, teacher
dispositions, and/or standards that apply.
- Paraprofessionals
are often assigned to classrooms by administrators. You will likely be the
direct supervisor of a paraprofessional who was hired and assigned by
someone other than you. What will you do in the event that your
personality or general philosophies about education seem to clash with
those of your paraprofessional? How will you maintain a positive
relationship and a professional rapport? What strategies could you use to
teach, lead, and model appropriate interactions and responses to student
needs so that you and your paraprofessional are on the same page?
- How
can you utilize your paraprofessionals to maximize student engagement in
your classroom as well as help maintain a structured learning environment?
- You
have a paraprofessional who is older than you and more experienced. She
has been at the school for the past 15 years and this is your first year
there. As you set up the classroom and begin lesson planning, she
challenges you at every turn, stating that, “this is not how it is done
here.” When your students arrive, she begins undermining you and
dismissing your comments, even when you are managing classroom behaviors.
On two occasions, she refuses to comply with your classroom management
plan and instead sends students to the office for minor behavioral
infractions. What will your plan of action be to gain control of your
classroom, maintain professionalism, and address the paraprofessional’s
actions?
- You
have a paraprofessional who comes to school late every day, takes frequent
bathroom breaks that last 20-30 minutes or more, and leaves early at least
three days a week. What strategies will you use to gain rapport, set
limits, and reduce these absences? Are there any procedures you can think
of that might reduce these “disappearances”? At what point will you need
to contact your administration and have them intervene? What steps should
you take before that point? How might building a rapport help reduce these
issues?
