Paraeducator Duties and Responsibilities
Paraeducators’ primary role is to offer students an extra level of support and guidance both inside and outside of the classroom. To do this, many tasks come into play. We analyzed several job postings to determine the primary duties and responsibilities of Paraeducators.
Assist with Instructional Support Most often, Paraeducators assist teachers who work with special needs students. Since many of these children require more time and instruction than the typical student, the Paraeducator assists the teacher with instructional support. This includes working one-on-one with students, preparing classroom materials and anything else that may improve the learning environment of the classroom.
Track Progress The primary goal of the educational setting created for special needs students is to help them become more independent. It is very important that Paraeducators keep detailed reports and records of each student, their respective disabilities and how they are improving.
Prepare Lesson Plans Extra care and attention must be given to creating lesson plans in a special needs classroom. The way information is presented and the method in which guidelines and procedures are explained is crucial to the success of the students. Paraeducators play an integral role in deciding how they students are going to be taught.
Assemble Class Materials Teaching aids and classroom materials can be essential in helping students to understand a concept. Paraeducators are responsible for assembling relevant teaching materials that will make the instructional process clearer. These materials can include bulletin boards, text books, visual aids and activity sheets.
Paraeducator Skills
Core Skills: Due to the nature of the work, Paraeducators must be patient and understanding individuals with the ability to work at the pace of the student that they are helping.
