Paraprofessionals hold a key position relative to both teachers and students. School districts have employed paraprofessionals in classrooms for a number of years, but changes have necessitated an expansion in their role. They now work along-side teachers to provide specialized services to special education students with unique needs. Federal legislation (Individuals with Disablilities Education Act) not only recognizes the importance of that role, but also emphasizes that paraprofessionals must have the proper tools to meet the needs in the most effective way. This workshop will focus on the skills and strategies necessary to meet these requirements.
Participants will:
Understand their role in relationship to the teachers and students they work with.
Learn strategies to effectively communicate and collaborate with teachers, parents, and other school staff.
