Educating America : 101 Strategies for Adult Assistants in K-8 Classrooms

This pioneering guide by Paddy Eger, a veteran teacher with years in the Parent Cooperative Education Program (PCEP), empowers volunteers to step into classrooms. Each community volunteer, para educator and parent assistant needs tools to support their involvement. When assistants succeed, students succeed. This book addresses how to set expectations, communicate effectively, develop questioning skills, handle misbehavior, monitor students' progress, clarify details and send the students on to other activities without the volunteer "breaking a sweat."
