Synopsis

"A well-designed reference and learning tool for paraprofessionals. The valuable templates can easily be reproduced and used with students."
―Renee Bernhardt, Special Education Teacher
Johnston Elementary School, Woodstock, GA

"This is a great guide. I have already used excerpts for an informal paraprofessional workshop in my school. The paraeducators thought that it covered all the areas of concern that they have. They couldn′t believe how many ready-to-use ideas it had."
―Dawne Dragonetti, Special Education Teacher and Instructional Coach
Center School, Stow, MA
