Paraprofessionals are some of the unsung heroes of inclusive education...This book provides a wealth of practical tips and tools and will be immediately useful for paraprofessionals and the teachers who supervise them.

This essential handbook provides foundational orientation and training content for paraprofessionals. Its accessible style, focus on inclusive contexts, and practical applications should make it a go-to resource for collaborative teams.

Now, more than ever, we must commit to supporting paras who are fundamental to the success of so many children regardless of service delivery model or location. This reader-friendly handbook offers the key information, tools, and practical solutions paras need to fully include all students.

Wow! Finally, a resource for paraeducators, teachers, principals, and district leaders that can actually be understood and applied in the classroom. The Paraprofessional Handbook offers unique insights into the roles and responsibilities of a para and brings to light important topics that need to be addressed before working with students.

Best PD book I have read in years. Practical and fun, it provides support and dignity to the person on the education team who has been undervalued for decades—the paraprofessional. Our paraprofessionals are vital to our students’ success.

Whether you are a paraprofessional looking for ways to support students, collaborate, and communicate with team members; a teacher who is seeking ideas for educating and supporting the paraprofessionals on your team; or an administrator needing guidance on how to supervise programs or grow an inclusive school, this book will provide answers, ideas, and many, many ‘ah-ha!’ moments.
