Have requests for paras increased? 


Has it become harder to recruit and train them?


And is it harder to supervise and retain them? 


Paraprofessionals are the unsung heroes of our education system. Support your new and veteran paras with this professional development opportunity specifically designed for their unique needs. Using real-world scenarios, participants will explore what it takes to be a successful paraprofessional. 


TRAINING CONTENT:

  • The professional expectations, roles, and responsibilities of successful paras

  • Collaborating effectively with educational teams

  • Understanding the fundamentals of special education

  • Working with IEPs

  • Common disabilities and targeted instructional strategies that work

  • Providing effective support while promoting independence 


Participants will leave with a para toolbox including games, activities, and strategies that promote learning and student engagement!

​

Participants: New and veteran paras.
