Comments from Sarasota County Schools (Florida) ESE Program Specialist: The 40 ESE paraeducator participants were excited to have a training designed especially for them. The Paraeducator Handbook that was used as a reference guide for the training was an integral part of our day. It's highlights included an overview of the requirements of IDEA, classroom management, team building and how it ties into the job of paraeducator and, in turn, how this can affect positive student achievement.
I would encourage any District to utilize LEARN and this Paraeducator Handbook to support the great job that all paraeducators do for our students.
