During this session we will discuss inclusive practices for paraprofessionals who work with students who have met special education eligibility, and practice instructional strategies/ practical ways paraprofessionals can support students in a variety of educational settings.
This session is appropriate for paraprofessionals who will be working in inclusive or specialized classrooms and teachers who work directly with paraprofessionals.
Inclusion is a belief system that values diversity and fosters a shared responsibility to help all students to reach their potential.
The paraprofessional plays a significant role in providing the support necessary for students to become as highly engaged as possible in school life. Moving students toward independence by providing, then fading support is a key element in the inclusion process. A great paraprofessional can make a vast and positive difference in the educational experience of a student.
The paraprofessional, under the direction of a teacher, plays a key role in supporting the implementation of the educational program. Teachers and paraprofessionals work together to develop a productive professional relationship.
