Teachers should let paraprofessionals lead classroom stations, groups, and transitions when they're ready for it. Clear assignments of who's in charge for each activity prevent confusion and help paras develop leadership skills.

If you have paras that love to take charge, my advice is to let them. Give them opportunities to take charge and be the leader. Obviously that is something they enjoy, that they like doing, so let them do that. But find the times that it's appropriate. There are times where you as the teacher have to be the leader, but give them times where they can run a station, they can run the group, they can be the leader of the transition, and very clearly assign who's in charge when so they have those opportunities.
