Paraeducator Resources
Annual
Reports to Congress provide evidence that the number of teacher
aides/paraprofessionals serving students ages 3 - 21 increased 60%
from 1992-1999. In addition to their growth in numbers, paraprofessionals
are growing in greater responsibility for student learning and acquiring
more formal preparation. The resources below provide administrators
with field validated knowledge and skills for training paraprofessionals
in
their districts,
and provide paras
in the profession now or those interested in entering the profession
with information about preparation programs that could lead to a
certificate
or to
a teaching career.
