Paraeducators
Paraeducators fulfill many different
types of roles in working with students with disabilities, ranging form
pre-kindergarten class for children with special needs, in the
community, serving as a job coach for a student with developmental
disabilities, in a resource room for adolescents with learning
disabilities, or in a 4th-grade classroom that contains some students
with and without special needs. In short, paraeducators are present in
most educational settings under the supervision of the teacher, and they
have skills and contributions that make them highly valued and sought
after in education.
To help you learn more about the role
paraeducators fill, as well as the responsibilities of special education
teachers supervising paraeducators, CEC has developed this resource.
Here, you will find information on the roles and responsibilities of and
training for paraeducators as well as current issues about paraeducators
and resources.
