Paraprofessional Training Program
Click here for detailed descriptions of each training.
For several years, the NIA has offered a Paraprofessional Training Program to member districts and cooperatives. Our goal has been to provide institute training to paraprofessionals on subject matter that is relative to their role in the special education system. No Child Left Behind legislation has driven the need for paraprofessionals and all staff to have access to professional development opportunities. Meaningful training opportunities for paraprofessionals and all other staff are necessary so that they better understand the theoretical basis of special education, the characteristics of various disabilities, and the implications for a child to be successful in the classroom. NIA has expanded their training program to meet the needs of teachers and related staff, as well as paraprofessionals.
Most workshop topics are developed for 2-3 hour presentations with the exception of a few that are 4-5 hrs. Audience size is best suited at a maximum of 50 participants, unless otherwise indicated. All workshop topics can be tailored to meet your individual needs.
