For the paras in D75, what were the biggest mistakes you made during your first year, and what helped you become more successful over time? What differences do you notice between how you worked during your first year compared to now?
I’m currently a long-term paraprofessional since November in a D75 program and still learning every day. I work closely with students during instruction, transitions, behaviors, and school activities, and I’m continuing to improve my classroom management, de-escalation skills, and overall support for both students and staff. The other paraprofessionals and staff in my classroom have also given me a lot of helpful advice, feedback, and tips throughout the year, which has helped me grow professionally. I would really appreciate hearing advice and experiences from other paras who have worked in D75 programs, especially about what helped you become more successful over time.
