Before the school year begins, paraeducators need initial training to understand their role in the classroom and to learn the essential foundational knowledge and skills needed to assist a special education teacher. School districts also need to provide ongoing training throughout the year. This session highlights key components of initial paraeducator training, recommendations for ongoing professional development, and an overview of tools for feedback and evaluation that are essential to helping a paraeducator become a team-oriented instructional aid.
