What do you do when a paraprofessional just can’t keep up with the pace, data, or demands of your classroom?

Before jumping to frustration, this Misfit Minute walks you through a practical, compassionate approach to coaching staff, improving systems, and making data-based decisions that keep your students first.

🔑 Key Takeaways
• Check the system, not just the person
• Define what “keeping up” actually means
• Simplify and prioritize tasks
• Model + narrate your thinking
• Practice together + give immediate feedback
• Reinforce effort and growth
• Reflect on fit using data, not emotion
• Document support and communication
