Paraeducators are critical to the success of students every year, and their support is even more important for the upcoming school year as districts return to full in-person learning. They will be essential to helping students recover any lost learning opportunities they experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic by providing additional classroom support and one-on-one attention.

CSEA is here to help new paras get up to speed and returning paras expand their knowledge and skills in meeting students’ needs through a brand-new professional development opportunity: the Paraeducator Accelerated Training Hub (PATH). This program includes more than 40 on-demand trainings that can be conveniently accessed at any time from August 2, 2021 through April 2022, and new content will be added throughout the year.
