This session is designed to provide information to educators who are assigned a paraprofessional as a resource in assisting students with disabilities access and progress in the general curriculum. The intended audience is classroom teachers— both general and special education - and paraprofessionals. We will define the roles and responsibilities of the teacher and the paraprofessional and how to keep open lines of communication so that paraprofessionals are more effectively utilized in assisting students with disabilities access to and progress in the general curriculum.
