Navigating the Teacher & Paraeducator Relationship

There are many staff members that have an important role in the education of students with disabilities. Since teachers and paraeducators work together everyday, creating and maintaining strong collaborative relationships between them is critical. Unfortunately, in classroom today, this relationship is often underdeveloped. From my student teaching internship experiences and the research, I have found this relationship can impact the work environment atmosphere, delivery of instruction (Giangreco, 2003), and student success (Biggs, Gilson, & Carter, 2016). Certainly, this relationship can affect a classroom in many ways. With this in mind, I found it necessary to create a training focused on fostering and nurturing this relationship.
