It would have been impossible to meet the needs of 22 students in that classroom with only one adult. The proposal to staff all t. K. Classrooms with a dedicated paraprofessional for the full year has several benefits. It ensure the t. K. Teachers in meeting this complex range of academic and social needs.

Teachers to develop relationships with another adult vested in the childrens transition. Thank
