TEACHING ASSISTANT PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITY- Capital Region

All teaching assistants are invited to collaborate and support each other in a regional Professional Learning Community. Led by a facilitator, the group of teaching assistants will use the standards for paraeducators published by the Council for Exceptional Children as a springboard to set an agenda for their research and discussion. This 15 hour course is blended: 5 group meetings with 3 hours of asynchronous participation in an online community.
