On-Demand Training for

PreK-12 Paraprofessionals

Your Hosts:

Dr. Julie Causton

Dr. Kristie Pretti-Frontczak

Rarely is there time for paraprofessionals
to receive the training and support
they need to work with children and students on IEPs.

 

Even more rare is professional development
with practical strategies that can be applied
to all of the students in the district…
from Pre-K through 12th grade.

 

Now is the time to invest
in an entire workforce…
a workforce who holds the key
to successful inclusion of all children and students.

Act now and take advantage of highly acclaimed training for paraprofessionals.

Dear INSERT name of employer or supervisor,

In order to be more effective in promoting inclusion and teaching students with diverse abilities in our district, I’d like to take an online series taught by inclusion experts Dr. Julie Causton and Dr. Kristie Pretti-Frontczak.

This online series will give me the skills I need to:

  • See children and students from a place of strengths
  • Ensure children and students are more independent
  • Play a meaningful role in the development of IFSPs/IEPs
  • Support children and students with behaviors that are challenging

The overall outcome of this course is to increase my effectiveness as a paraprofessional from PreK-12 and boost student engagement, which I know are values of our district. 

The online series, which includes four topical sessions and 24/7 access to a community of other paraprofessionals from across the world is only $49.00. The course dashboard will include the recorded videos, audio only files, transcripts, key PPT slides to print, and session-by-session handout packets with all the practical tools I can use and reuse.

There are options for registering multiple paraprofessionals at a time if you prefer to have a group of us take the training together. You can read more about what’s included here.

Thank you for considering my request,

INSERT your name

 

I need up to 40 hours of professional development. How many does this course offer?
