State Resources... A Call for Assistance

We are in the process of collecting resources from each of the 50 states to provide more local resources for people looking for paraprofessional information. Specifically we are looking for information on state standards, para events (e.g. conferences), training opportunities (e.g., state, university or community college training programs) and paraeducator guides or handbooks. Please share your resources through this form or by replying to this email.
