ParaEducator is an online platform for paraprofessionals, featuring over 100 work-related courses and assessments that can be completed to be considered "highly qualified." Once registered, you will be sent information allowing you to access ParaEducator online courses (one registration per paraprofessional is required).  

To complete the assessment to be considered “highly qualified,” paraprofessionals should complete the courses for “highly qualified and assessments,” and complete the assessment in person at SWWC on the designated date and time, as the assessment must be proctored.

It is strongly recommended that paraprofessionals complete the assigned prep courses prior to taking the assessments. Estimate 8 – 12 hours to complete the prep courses. Assessments will then need to be completed, with 70% accuracy, to be considered highly qualified.

• Courses are organized into bite-sized units and are perfect for training days.
• Post-tests at the end of each course that are automatically graded.
