By the end of this PD, participants will:
- Understand the paraprofessional's reality. — See the job your paras actually do before changing anything.
- Make expectations explicit. — Replace "they should just know" with a written, shared role-clarity map.
- Build a communication system. — Set lightweight, repeatable touchpoints instead of hallway guesswork.
- Recognize the invisible professionals. — Treat recognition as a real retention lever, not an afterthought.
- Make feedback safe and two-way. — Build feedback that grows the partnership instead of straining it.
- Build systems that outlast people. — Leave with a partnership that survives staff turnover — and, for leaders, a building-wide policy.
Built for the people doing the work.
Secondary principals, assistant principals, and district leaders who want to turn the teacher–paraprofessional partnership into a system their building can run — not leave it to which two people happened to click.

The partnership looks different in every department.
A schoolwide session gets everyone the same language. But the science teacher with a lab aide, the counselor with a support specialist, and the CTE instructor with a shop assistant don't actually work together the same way. This is the PD for the department meeting — where the partnership gets specific.
Twelve department add-ons take the same partnership framework and tune it to how each team's teachers and support staff really share a room — plus the Administration Capstone that turns what surfaces into a building-wide policy your board can adopt. Run them before your next department meeting and walk in with a plan, not goodwill.
English
Co-taught ELA, real-time reading and writing support, and small-group reteach mean several adults share the same students across periods — so assumptions stack up about the text, the student, and each adult's role. This session names where the mind-reading happens and builds the role clarity and signals that keep support from running on guesswork.
Mathematics
Co-taught math, live support during problem-solving, and reteach groups put several adults on the same students — quietly differing on pacing, on how much to help, and on what "show your work" requires. This session gets the math team aligned on one standard, so a student gets the same answer from whichever adult is closest.
Social Sciences
History, civics, and economics run document-heavy and discussion-driven, with co-teachers and paras sharing students across periods. This session names where assumptions creep in — about the reading, the task, the role — and sets the shared expectations that let two adults teach contested material with one voice.
Fine Arts
In studios, ensembles, and rehearsals, support happens live and in motion — critique, performance, individual coaching. This session helps the arts team define who does what during a rehearsal or crit, so feedback to a student stays consistent and no adult is left guessing.
Career & Technical Education
Labs and shops put two adults around equipment and live tasks, where unclear roles aren't just confusing — they're a safety issue. This session gets the CTE team explicit about signals, supervision, and who owns what, so the partnership runs safely and students get one consistent expectation.
Foreign Language
World-language classes lean on real-time speaking and practice support, often with one program stretched thin across levels. This session helps the language team name where messages break down and set the shared routines that keep immersion and feedback consistent between teacher and para.
Multilingual/ELL
Specialists, content teachers, and bilingual paras all share the same multilingual learners through push-in, pull-out, and live scaffolding — a lot of hand-offs, a lot of room to drift. This session aligns the team so scaffolding and language expectations stay consistent across every adult and setting.
Special Education
In inclusion settings, co-teachers and paras support students across content classes in real time — and when adults read the plan differently, the inconsistency lands on the student. This session builds the co-planning, role clarity, and signals that keep inclusion support coordinated instead of improvised.
Related Services
Providers, teachers, and paras share the same students across settings, with hand-offs between push-in, pull-out, and the classroom. This session names where those hand-offs break down and builds the communication routines that keep services and classroom support pulling in the same direction.
Student Support Services
Counselors, social workers, and support staff share students with teachers and paras across settings and hand-offs — and inconsistency reaches the student fast. This session gets the support team and classroom adults on the same page about roles, communication, and what a shared student needs from all of them.
Specialists
PE, health, and specialist classes put adults in active, high-movement spaces, where mixed signals slow a class down or create real safety risk. This session gets the specialist team clear on roles, supervision, and signals so two adults run an active room as one.
Science
Labs and investigations put two or more adults around equipment, materials, and live safety calls — where unclear roles aren't just confusing, they're a safety issue. This session gets the science team explicit about lab roles, safety expectations, and who supervises what, so every student gets the same lab experience and the same safety net, no matter which adult is closest.
Administration
The leadership capstone. Every department working session sends partnership recommendations up; this session is what leadership does with them — read the themes across departments, find the system gaps under the personalities, and turn it into a building-wide partnership policy. Leaders leave with a Policy Drafting Workbook and a one-page "Policy on a Page" for the district and board.
