Case: Co-Teacher vs Paraprofessional
Mr B is an 8th Grade Social Studies teacher. He has two "General Ed/Special Ed" classes. In those classes, he has a "Co-Teacher" in the room. Their official titles are Paraprofessional.
Should he expect these parapros to teach like a Co-teacher would or allow them to monitor the students behaviors and help the "special education" students they are assigned to?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
A paraprofessional does not have the same type of training and credentials as a co-teacher. A co-teacher actually has a higher education with a background in learning how to be a co-teacher. A co-teacher's role is to assist the teacher, while a parapro is simply there for behavioral support and to read test aloud to special needs students. From my experience, a co-teacher gets paid more than a parapro; therefore, their job requires more knowledge and work. |
