What does a great paraprofessional need to know and do? You'll find real-world answers from two experts in the second edition of this bestselling guidebook. Passionate inclusion advocates Julie Causton and Kate MacLeod bring you a supremely practical guide to surviving and thriving as an integral part of your school's inclusive team. You'll get immediately applicable strategies for mastering every facet of your complex role: collaborating with other team members, selecting accommodations and modifications, facilitating peer connections, fading your support, and much more. And you'll find a treasure trove of tools-including activities, learning checks, reproducible templates, FAQs, and short to-do lists-to help you reflect on your practice and strengthen your daily work.

An essential hands-on guide for new and seasoned paraprofessionals-and a must-have for the educators and other professionals who support them-this empowering book takes the guesswork out of this critical classroom role so you can help students with disabilities reach their full potential.
