Teachers and paraprofessionals have to work together in order to create a good learning environment for the students. Unfortunately, sometimes it is difficult for them to work collaboratively as they might both have different ways of teaching or ideas about their roles in the classroom. It's important that both the teacher and paraprofessional be on the same page in regard to their responsibilities and methods of teaching the students.
