I'm new, Parapro requirements

Posted May 15th, 2003 by boovert
Hi, My name is Rachel and I work for the Lake Pend Oreill school district. We parapro's are now just getting to know about these requirements. But word hasn't gotten around yet here. Nobody really care's or knows what is going on. I only know that the College of Southern Idaho and Treasure Valley community college of Oregon offer parapro programs which are online. The test is called ETS but where/what or when does one take it? My district doesn't even have a paraprofessional development program or a rep. To demonstrate two years of post secondary education, an indiviual in Idaho must have 32 official college credits in academic core classes. IF a paraprofessional has an associate's degree it must be in an academic subject area or a specialized paraprofessional coursework from a college or university to be able to work for the school district. SOOO that also means we paraprofessionals have to pay for everything. Joy. :wink:

Para pro assessment test

Hi Rachel, ETS is the name of the company that puts out the para test. You can go to there web site and I think they will give you the phone number of the company so you can order the study guide for the test. It is very helpful. The web site is www.ets.org/parapro. Someone in your school district should know where in your state they are giving the test. I took the test at our local high school. The test was not bad at all. I had gotten myself all worked up about it. If you study the study guide you will have no problem at all. Good luck!
