Hmmmm.... By Barb

Honestly, I would think that no matter what your involvement with the school, it would be a bonus for you. The only things that I can think of that would make a difference is:
1- as a Sub, you are playing the role of teacher with the responsibility, control, and flexibility of a sub (which is important)
2- as a Parapro, you're in there every day once hired and get to see the every day actions of a teacher and learn from that exposure as well as building relationships with the children and staff and showing a long term commitment.

So, both have their good points....I guess whatever works best for you is the route you should take. Good luck in your decision!
