[quote=Anonymous]In a lot of HS classes, paras don't have rigorous course knowledge - and are often learning the material alongside the kids. I'm a middle school para with good general knowledge, but just got moved into a new class. We don't get planning time or other time to coordinate with the teacher. I'll have to figure out what's going on, how the teacher teaches, and the expectations for the kids. Even so, paras do help keep kids on task, check to see if they understood what was said, make sure homework gets recorded, support extra time, and such. Largely, though, it's relationship building to help get the kids in a frame of mind to succeed. [/quote]
