For the training facilitator …conduct quality staff training with minimum planning effort!
The IEP Process: The Role of the Paraeducator - Training Module Three is part of Paraeducators: LifeLines in the Classroom Training Modules Series.
Each Training Module provides solid instruction on key content knowledge and collaborative skills - so your paraeducators learn how to effectively meet the needs of students with disabilities and, at the same time, receive ongoing training and professional development as required under NCLB and IDEA.
Each Training Module can be used independently or as part of a comprehensive training package and includes:
- A CD-ROM containing participant handouts, as well as overheads and resources
- Suggested timing, content breaks, pacing and activities for a single 6-hour session, two 3-hour sessions or four 1-1/2 hour sessions
- Facilitator tips to create and provide an inviting learning environment along with resources for brushing up on topics, such as glossaries and definitions of must-know legal term
The IEP Process reviews the paperwork and processes used for providing special ed services to students. Paraeducators learn their role in the IEP process and in relation to the partner teacher, as well as the steps in the IEP process and the components of the IEP document.
Participants also develop skills in data collection with activities and exercises on informal and formal data gathering, anecdotal record-taking, and four specific student-behavior data recording systems - so paraeducators understand the importance of accurate data collection and how data shapes the development of future IEP goals and objectives.
