Each leader rotates co-facilitating meetings with lead teacher. Monthly meetings held after school, on-site. Agenda is set with specific time allotted for agenda items. Minutes are taken by members who rotate that duty. A time keeper moves the meeting agenda along.
Paraprofessionals develop the mission statement and rules.
Rule rating form is used by members to evaluate meeting. The first meeting occurs before the school year begins. This orientation session runs two to three hours and includes job responsibilities, training, yearly schedules, and an opportunity to read the student Individualized Educational Plan. New paraprofessionals are assigned mentors to address individual questions or concerns during the year. The paraprofessionals complete a survey designed by the leadership team to gain feedback on how to improve the meetings as well as indicate what worked well during the year.
