Download or read book Paraprofessional Preparation and Supervision in Special Education written by Tiffany Nicole Leger-Rodriguez and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paraprofessionals in special education have a high level of responsibility but a low level of training and support to help them do their jobs effectively (Downing, Ryndak, & Clark, 2000; Goessling, 1998). The following qualitative study examined and analyzed the role of paraprofessional supervisors and the meaning of supervision. Participants included paraprofessionals, teachers, school psychologists, principals, and an administrator (n=17) in a California public elementary school district. Some of the teachers and paraprofessionals worked in an inclusive, general education setting, and some worked in a self-contained special education setting. Data were collected through participant-observation, formal and informal interviews, and written artifacts. Analyses showed patterns and idiosyncrasies within the teacher-paraprofessional relationship and the meaning of supervision, and implications address supervisory preparation and practices.

Download or read book Supervising Paraprofessionals written by Aaron M. O'Leary and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this phenomenological study was to examine supervisory skills special education teachers need to learn based on previous literature. Special education teachers, institute of higher education instructors, and paraprofessionals took part in the study. The participants completed online questionnaires that included items about supervisory skills learned by special education teachers in their teacher licensure programs, as well as how they supervised paraprofessionals. Stakeholder responses revealed several themes. Few special educators received supervisory training, especially in management, role clarification, meeting, orientation, and evaluation of paraprofessionals. Paraprofessionals reported little orientation and evaluation by special education teachers. All stakeholder groups noted the need for special educator training and establishment of communication and working relationship between special educators and paraprofessionals. Responses also reflected disagreement between special education teachers and paraprofessionals about how special educators supervise.
