Teacher Aids

In regards to the school bus incident, I realized that many aids are probably not aware of school district policy. There are handbooks for teachers, but there may not be handbooks specifically for aids. At my school, we have been having the aids attend our professional development meetings in regard to our school's new behavior management system. This way we will have consistency throughout the building. Since we expect aids to handle the same situations that teachers face, I think it's a good idea to have them attend professional development meetings.
