What do Paraeducators Do?
The Iowa Department of Education and Kirkwood Community College have graciously allowed us to share this wonderful video that offers a sneak peek into the daily life of a paraeducator.
Just press play to watch the video, it is 16 minutes long and well worth every minute you spend watching it. Thanks again to the Iowa Department of Education and Kirkwood Community College!

Relationship building between teachers and paraprofessionals
Alicia- the National Resource Center does not have any DVD's available, but you may want to try out our training manual titled A Training Program: To Prepare Teachers to Supervise and Work Effectively With Paraeducator Personnel, from that link you can preview the book. Let us know if you have any questions.
"What Do Paraeducators Do?"
I loved what part of the video that I could hear. Perhaps my feed was "messed up". I really only got about every 30 seconds of dialog and then it would blank out and come back on in short spurts. Can the video be purchased? I am working on a presentation for teachers and paraeducators and would like to include this presentation. Please let me know.

I, also would like to be informed of other paraeducators pay scale. How many days a year they work ,are they at school when students are not, do they have mandatory after school activities,and how often do they have paraeducator staff development ?
pay scale for paras
Should papras be in a separate scale if they teach a full class load though they are in the same room (library) where there is a certifiied teacher?
Thank you
paras
I read your question on NRCP. I would also like to know the answer to your question about separate payscale for paras that teach in the same room as teachers. What state are you in? I am in PA. I have not been able to acquire an answer to if we are supposed to be teaching at all. Are you frustrated too? Some people say we are supposed to teach, some say we are not supposed to, just reinforce what the teacher teaches...
Hope to hear from you...

The Sound on the Video
Greetings,
As others have mentioned, the sound keeps cutting out at random intervals. The video has a lot of good information--some of which is lost to the listener. Is there any way you can re-post the video so that the sound is restored?
Thank you,
H. Henning
