Para-Professionals Presented by Ernie Kim Felicia

Para-Professionals The role of the paraprofessional or paraeducator is to supplement the instructional or other support services provided to the student with special needs, under the supervision of the teacher or other professional responsible for those services,

Objectives Develop a better understanding of the role of the paraprofessional. Develop a better understanding of the role of the teacher. Begin thinking about developing a job description within your district of what is required of the paraprofessional.

The role of the Para-professionals One to one instruction Small group instruction Large group instruction Data collection/observation Preparation/planning Reproducing/typing instruction materials Playground/hall/lunch/bus supervision Attending meetings/inservice Storytelling/reading aloud Carnahan, Williamson, Clarke, Sorensen, (2009)

The role of the teacher for Para-professionals Orienting paraeducators to the program, school and students Planning for paraeducators Scheduling for paraeducators Delegating tasks to paraeducators On-the-job training and coaching of paraeducators Monitoring and feedback regarding paraeducator task performance Managing the workplace (communication, problem solving, conflict management (Correa, Jones, Thomas, Morsink, 2005)

Para-Professionals The term paraprofessional has not been clearly defined in the field of education. Neither the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 nor the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) of 2004 defines the term (McKenzie, 2008). Do you know the definition of Paraprofessional within your district?

Questions regarding Paraprofessional supports To what extent should paraprofessionals be teaching students with disabilities? What impact does the proximity of paraprofessionals have on students with disabilities. How does the utilization of paraprofessional support affect teacher engagement, and why should it matter? How can authentic respect, appreciation, and acknowledgement of the important work of paraprofessionals be demonstrated? What ca be done to improve paraprofessional supports schoolwide?
