As an EL paraprofessional, I supported several students who were beginning to learn English as a second language, under the supervision of certified teachers, providing assistance in grades kindergarten through five. I collaborated in individual and group activities as required, implementing suggested strategies, monitored and reported on students' academic progress, and advised them on their curricular activities to help them achieve their goals in the classroom. I also translated for teachers, the principal, and parents.
