Given the critical shortage of certified special education teachers, the special education paraprofessional—whether known as a classroom aide, an instructional assistant, or a paraeducator—plays an increasing critical role in serving the needs of both special education students and their schools. This six-part KET professional development series, produced in partnership with the Interdisciplinary Human Development Institute at the University of Kentucky, defines and explore the various roles of the paraeducator working with special-needs students: as a member of the instructional team, as an instructor who teaches new skills and collects progress data, as a connector to other students and to the community, and as a personal-needs assistant responsible for the student’s physical well-being.
Length: 6 programs; 30 minutes each
Audience: Programs 1-5: special education paraeducators, all levels; Program 6: special education teachers and administrators, all levels
