As a paraprofessional in an elementary school‚ I recognize how imperative it is for teachers to encourage and motivate students.

What do you perceive are your greatest professional challenges during your first year school placements? I have wanted to become a teacher from a very young age; I believe this is because I found my nursery and primary school teachers to be very inspirational and tremendous role models. They insured that all our classes were fun with the use of puppets‚ stories‚ musical instruments and drama.
