| Summary |
Paraprofessionals, paraeducators, teachers' aides, and educational assistants are becoming an increasingly important part of inclusive classrooms. This handbook is devoted to defining and supporting their roles and responsibilities. It offers concrete, ready-to-use information that school personnel can put to use immediately in the classroom, without waiting for formal training programs or in service sessions. The writing is accessible and jargon-free, and subjects are covered at basic and practical levels. It is easy to read and easy to use, with forms to photocopy, personal stories from peers, fun and educational activities, and planning guides |
