This online course for “Paraprofessionals: Tools for Working with English Learners” breaks down each of the tools into one or two parts, and include a video for each part: a pre-assessment, a post-assessment, reflection questions, and useful resources that are relevant to each tool’s content. This course is designed to allow self-paced learning and to provide time for reflection throughout. We anticipate that each of these tools would take between 30 minutes - 3 hours to complete individually, depending on the tool’s content and time spent on the activities and assessments.
**Please Note: These Tools are also a part of a separate larger Toolkit, so you may notice that the Tool numbers on the slide decks don't match the number of the Tools - the slide decks are in the correct Tools.
If you have questions throughout this training, please contact klaughlin@bhssc.org
Each Tool has a Pre-Assessment - please complete this as you begin each Tool.
After you have completed the Pre-Assessment, you can then move on to Part 1, which includes a video to watch and a PowerPoint to follow along with.
After you have completed Part 1, you can then move on to Part 2, which will have the same structure as Part 1.
After completing the final video for the Tool, you can then move on to the Post-Assessment.
The Post-Assessments mark the end of each Tool. The Resources pages are for your use as you wish, there are no activities to complete in these sections.
When you have finished all of the tools, please take a moment to complete the Evaluation Survey to provide us with feedback on what went well for you and what we could do to improve this course for future users (found on the last page).
Thank you!
