According
to the MN Dept. of Education, Paraprofessionals may work in a variety of
positions in a school district including, but not limited to, instructional
assistants, pupil support assistants, special education paraprofessionals, job
coaches, lunch room and playground assistants, hall monitors and media center
assistants. Many teacher assistants work primarily or exclusively with students
who have special educational needs. Their duties vary according to the needs of
the student from physical assistance and care to behavioral management and
academic assistance. In Minnesota,
paraprofessionals must meet specific locally developed requirements depending
on the role and duties they are assigned.
In
the Lester Prairie School District, we have 8 paraprofessionals that work with
our students. They are a group of kind,
compassionate men and women that assist our students with whatever they may
need throughout the day. Many of our
paraprofessionals go above and beyond to ensure the students have a great educational
experience each and every day! They are
all extremely cooperative and don’t hesitate a minute when we have to make
changes to the schedule or if someone else needs assistance. Many,
many thanks to each and every one of you for your giving spirit, friendly
smile, and big heart! We all appreciate
you and what you bring to the students and staff of Lester Prairie
Schools! J
From Cathy Scoblic, Lester Prairie Schools.
