ParaExcellence: Empowering Paraprofessionals for Title I Requirements

In our Schoolwide Title I schools, recognizing and celebrating the diverse talents and contributions of paraprofessionals is paramount. It's essential for these valued members of our educational community to align with the Title I Paraprofessional Hiring Requirements, ensuring excellence in support services. Additionally, paraprofessionals engaged in Title I Targeted support programs must adhere to these standards, further underscoring their crucial role in student success.

Paraprofessionals undertake a multitude of responsibilities, collaborating daily with students, educators, administrators, and families. To nurture their professional growth and empower them in their roles, we proudly offer the Master Teacher Paraeducator PD Now!™ program. This comprehensive 13-module online course is thoughtfully tailored to the unique needs and challenges faced by paraprofessionals.

Recognizing that this coursework may present obstacles for some, we've taken proactive steps to provide structured guidance and technical support. For paraprofessionals who may not yet meet the hiring requirements through traditional education or credit pathways, our program offers a nurturing environment to embark on their learning journey with confidence and guidance.  With this service, the pathway to professional growth and fulfillment is within reach for all.
