Wow! I Have an EA - Now What?
About this Session
This presentation is designed for new and experienced teachers who work with an educational assistant (EA) in their classroom. Navigating this relationship can be challenging, but the right approach can lead to a successful and fulfilling year for students and staff.
We will provide practical advice and a framework to help establish clear roles and responsibilities, especially regarding student assessments for those with full or part-time EA support. Our discussion will cover how to effectively communicate and collaborate, including strategies for handling difficult conversations.
This presentation has been highly regarded for its impact on understanding roles, fostering positive discussions, and creating an inclusive environment for everyone involved. Join us to gain valuable insights and tools to enhance your classroom dynamics and support student success.
