Discussion
The purpose of the new rule is to establish standards for the preparation
of Paraprofessionals who would meet the new qualifications for paraprofessionals
set by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 2001 (ESEA; No Child
Left Behind).
PSC - Approved Programs meet these standards and are one of several ways
in which paraprofessionals may satisfy Federal ESEA requirements.
The standards were developed by a task force composed of representatives
from local school districts (including central office personnel, teachers,
and paraprofessionals), Regional Education Service Agencies, teachers’
organizations, the Georgia Department of Education, and institutions of
higher education. To view a list of task force members, please click here.
