TEACHER TESTIMONIALS

“Having the support of a classroom paraeducator is invaluable to my students.  Our paras help students reach their full potential by making more small group learning possible.”
 
“Having a classroom paraeducator is invaluable in so many ways.  With the reality of increased class sizes, extra support is appreciated more than ever.  Paras allow for smaller group instruction, individual attention, remedial and challenge opportunities.  We are so fortunate to have this kind of support at our school.”
 
“Our para support is incredible.  My students can’t wait to work with her and feel supported, encouraged and successful at their level.”
 
“My classroom para is a really special talent.  She is dedicated, patient, and extremely intelligent.  It is priceless for my students to have an additional, consistent adult to foster and enrich their love of literature and words.  It is also priceless for me as the teacher to have a trustworthy, reliable resource that I can count on to deliver quality instruction.”
