Are you a paraprofessional, wondering how best to support your ELLs? Or are you a classroom teacher that knows you are underutilizing the paraprofessionals in your building? We are right in the middle of a series called Small Steps to Success for ELLs! Throughout this series, we are encouraging every person in our schools, from the front office to the cafeteria, to take vital steps to help support our English language learners. We know when each person does this, you will see positive change!

Today we are talking about the role of paraprofessionals. We believe paraprofessionals are a vital piece of the school and a huge key to helping our ELLs find success. In this episode, I am sharing how I got my start in education as a paraprofessional and how my experience was invaluable to my continued career in educating ELLs. I'll share with you 5 ways paraprofessionals can support ELLs, hoping to give you concrete steps you can take this week with your students!
