Paraprofessionals are AMAZING—but they shouldn't replace special education teachers!
Karen highlights a growing concern in special education: paraprofessionals being relied on to provide instruction without appropriate teacher involvement.
Paraprofessionals play an invaluable role in supporting students with disabilities. But their role is to SUPPORT specially designed instruction, not independently replace qualified educators.
Parents, ask who is planning, supervising, and delivering your child's IEP services.
Our paraprofessionals deserve appreciation AND proper support. Our students deserve appropriately qualified instruction!
