Paraprofessional Administrator Walkthrough Checklist

Use this walkthrough checklist to observe paraprofessionals, the aides who support teachers and students, during the school day. It gives you specific things to look for and where to look across seven areas of effective practice, including modeling ASL and English, supporting instruction, ensuring student access, taking initiative, keeping clear professional roles, collaborating with the team, and contributing to school culture. Use it to document what you see, recognize strengths, and identify where a paraprofessional could grow, then turn your notes into supportive feedback.
