If you would like to request more information about the Teacher Academy:

Highly skilled paraeducators are an integral component of a quality educational program. Under the supervision of an appropriately credentialed educator, paraeducators are responsible for the support of students with disabilities in the least restrictive setting as outlined in the IEP. To be effective in this vital role, and to ensure positive student outcomes, paraeducators require ongoing focused training. In addition, a clear understanding of the delivery of individualized adaptations and educational supports for students across school settings is essential.

Join us for a one-day academy designed to provide tools and resources to equip paraeducators in supporting students toward positive student outcomes.
