Paraprofessional Effectiveness Leadership Monitoring Checklist

Use this checklist to monitor the systems behind paraprofessional effectiveness, the expectations, coaching, and professional learning that help aides do their best work. It covers seven areas of practice, from language modeling and instructional support to collaboration and belonging, and asks whether clear expectations, feedback, and support are consistently in place for each. It ends with coaching questions to help you spot where paraprofessionals are most inconsistent and what that reveals about gaps in training or support. Use it to strengthen your program's systems, not just individual performance.
