Instruction Support Staff and Paraprofessional Biographies
Sabetha Elementary School is fortunate to have several people working as Instructional Support Staff (ISS) alongside the certified classroom teachers. Their duties include providing instruction to students as part of the Multi-Tiered System of Supports program the building has in place to provide differentiated levels of instruction for students for part of their math and part of their reading instruction. The special education teachers have the support of several paraprofessional teachers (Para) who provide academic, behavioral, and physical support to students. Here are the professional biographies of these staff members:
