4 Reasons You Should Use ParaEducator PD Now!

#1.  It has a direct influence on student achievement... and paraeducators enjoy it!

"The best thing I have liked about these courses is that you can do them at your own pace and they are easy to understand.  They have helped me do a better job in my classroom and with the students and to be aware of other important needs that the students may have."

—Lana Juden, Paraprofessional, Montana School for the Deaf and Blind

#2.  It's the best way to give all your paraeducators the training they need.

"Before we were using ParaEducator PD Now, the professional development that we were providing to our paraeducators was very shallow, and not targeted to their specific needs.  Now that we are using the learning network and we are allowing the paraeducators some flexibility in deciding what modules they would like to use, they are more engaged and vested in the training themselves because they pertain specifically to their current needs."

—Kim Lewis, PD Coordinator, Harlem Consolidated School District #122 (IL)

#3.  It saves you time.

"[We can] assign certain staff classes based on need.  [And have the] ability
to view the transcripts and get immediate feedback on student performance."

—Nicole Morris, Assistant to the Superintendent, Chartiers-Houston School District (PA)

#4.  It's the most comprehensive, affordable solution on the market. 

"Not only does The ParaEducator Learning Network [now referred to as ParaEducator PD Now] provide the most comprehensive training we have seen for paraprofessionals, it is a great value for schools and districts."

—Luann Purcell, Ed.D., Executive Director, Council of Administrators of Special Education
