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: http://www.nrcpara.org/forum/im-new-parapro-requirements#comments Idaho Fri, 16 May 2003 00:31:13 +0000 boovert 76 at http://www.nrcpara.org
