<![CDATA[The Workroom, a Podcast]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/the-workroom-a-podcast The Workroom, a Podcast is a monthly training show for classroom paraprofessionals. The show is hosted by Nick, a BCBA, and Samora, a Program Specialist. Each episode trades the traditional Professional Development format for a podcast giving real classroom stories and tactics you can use tomorrow: building rapport, de-escalating hard moments, supporting IEPs day-to-day, and everything else nobody trained you for before they handed you an assignment. Grab it on your commute, during a prep period, or whenever you’ve got 30 minutes and no more bandwidth for a binder.
