What is a learning support paraprofessional?

Learning support paraprofessionals are educational aides who assist teachers in providing additional support to students with special needs or those who require extra help in the classroom. They work under the supervision of certified teachers to implement individualized education plans (IEPs), help manage classroom behavior, and provide one-on-one or small group instruction. Paraprofessionals play a crucial role in promoting an inclusive learning environment and ensuring all students have access to the resources they need to succeed.
