For the training facilitator …conduct quality staff training with minimum planning effort!

Paraeducators: LifeLines in the Classroom Training Modules are designed to train instructional paraeducators who support students with disabilities in general and special education classrooms. Six Training Modules provide 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 includes a CD-ROM containing participant handouts, 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. Plus, you receive facilitator tips to create and provide an inviting learning environment. Training Modules include:

• Defining the Role of the Paraeducator - Training Module One
• Celebrating Similarities: Students with Disabilities - Training Module Two
• The IEP Process: The Role of the Paraeducator - Training Module Three
• Supporting the Instructional Process - Training Module Four
• Behavior Improvement Strategies - Training Module Five
• Least Restrictive Environment - Training Module Six
• Power Paraeducator: Testing and Portfolio Documentation Guide (Includes tests and portfolio assignments to accompany each Training Module, plus a handy CD-ROM - so tests and activities can be printed out)
