Investing in Paraeducators: Develop, Empower, and Transform

Thursday May 18, 2023
7:00-8:00 p.m. ET

Presenter: Eric W. Underhill, MAT, M.Ed, CSML

Join us to learn how one school's commitment to paraeducator development, through the work of a team of school leaders and ESPs in a Northern Virginia Middle School, transformed how a district invested in ESPs. The school realized increased instructional quality, ESP self-efficacy, and workplace equity by investing in differentiated professional learning, leadership development, and workplace equity.

Participants will have an opportunity to develop questions for their own site based questionnaire as we discuss the importance and power of paraeducator voice within the instructional leadership decision making process.
