Para Ready Calm Kit: Behavior Tools for Paraprofessionals, High School

Paras often get the hardest moments with the least prep. After 20+ years in education, I built this kit for the adults who sit next to students all day: who does what when things heat up, what to say, how to log the day, and how to take simple data without guessing.

What is in the bundle (8 resources):

How I'd use it:

Give the first week cheat sheet and pocket cards on day one. Fill out team roles with the lead teacher before a hard student starts. Use the daily log so the teacher and para are not guessing what happened during lunch. Keep break cards and the decision grid where the para can reach them. The refusal toolkit is the short PD when "I won't" shows up every period.

Who it's for: Paraprofessionals, teachers who train paras, and admins stocking a para binder.

You save about 25% compared with buying these on their own ($28.00).

This is an educational resource. It does not replace your school's crisis plan, safety procedures, or any training your district requires.
