Paraeducators play an essential role in the classrooms.  

Working under the supervision of a licensed teacher, the paraeducator supports the school in a variety of ways and, in many circumstances, a classroom cannot function to its greatest potential without one.  The paraeducator helps bring the teacher's visions and ideas to life and strives towards the greatest levels of student success possible.  Great paraeducators maintain a lens of equity, support differing academic needs, and are compassionate toward the emotional well-being of each individual with whom they work.

Working in and out of classrooms, the paraeducator provides instructional, behavioral and other support to all or specified students.  Paraeducators often work one-to-one with students who are receiving special education or related services and/or students with a 504 plan.  Paraeducators assist students within the classroom routine, during class instruction, run small groups, tutor students (before and after school) and assist the teacher with classroom management and organizing instructional materials.
