Are paraprofessionals receiving the training and supervision IDEA requires? 📚⚖️
Karen highlights an important requirement under federal special education law: Paraprofessionals and assistants must be appropriately trained and supervised when assisting in providing special education and related services.
Under 20 U.S.C. §1412(a)(14) and 34 CFR §300.156, training and supervision are essential parts of personnel qualifications.
But what does meaningful supervision actually look like when the supervising teacher isn't physically present?
Parents, ask WHO is providing your child's instruction, HOW they're being supervised, and whether the IEP is being implemented as written!
