Paraeducator supervision and support

Programs must prepare teacher and administrator candidates for their role in directing, supervising, and evaluating paraeducators.

  • Providers ensure that all educator candidates demonstrate knowledge of the paraeducator standards of practice (document).
  • Providers prepare teacher candidates to direct paraeducators working with students in the classroom.
  • Providers prepare administrator candidates to supervise and evaluate paraeducators in schools.

Resources:

  • Paraeducator standards of practice (document)
  • PESB offers two online courses for inservice educators, which can be useful to programs in considering what to include in their program curriculum:
    • Teachers working with paraeducators
    • Principals and administrators working with paraeducators
  • Information about the paraeducator certificate program
  • WAC 181-78A-220
  • RCW 28A.410.294
