What is a Para Educator?
Para Educators play a vital role in supporting teachers in the classroom. It is also a great first step toward a meaningful career in the field of education. The BCC Para Educator program covers areas such as instructional techniques, classroom management, child development, special education, and effective communication strategies. Participants learn how to assist in the delivery of educational content, provide one-on-one or small group support to students, and help manage classroom behavior. Upon completion, graduates are prepared to work as effective, compassionate paraeducators, contributing to a positive and inclusive learning atmosphere.
