Paraprofessional Self-Assessment Checklist

Use this checklist to reflect on your own daily work as a paraprofessional, a classroom aide who supports teachers and students. It walks you through seven areas of effective practice, including modeling ASL and English, supporting student understanding rather than doing the work for them, helping every student take part, taking initiative, keeping clear professional boundaries, collaborating with the team, and contributing to school culture. Each area ends with a question to consider, so you can name what is going well and choose where to grow.
