Recruiting Support Personnel As Teachers Specially trained educational support personnel work as parent resource Pat Mueller, Coordinator of the Paraeducator Training Project in vermont http://www.schoolrenewal.org/strategies/i-supportp-af.html
Extractions: Recruiting Support Personnel as Partners in Teaching Community Excellence The context: As many as 90% of educational support personnel are recruited from the communities in which they work, compared to 40% of teachers. In addition to being part of the school community, educational support personnel reflect the ethnic, racial and socioeconomic diversity of the students they serve. Students benefit when schools, parents, and community members work together on their behalf. Educational support personnel are in an ideal position to strengthen education by promoting good communication between the school and the community. School Renewal Through Building a Learning Community with All School Personnel Educational support personnel are taking on new roles in schools. With the help of their educational support personnel, schools are making dramatic changes in the way they serve children and their families. The educational support personnel are key players in new programs, serve new roles in health and safety and have new responsibilities as decision-makers. Specially trained educational support personnel work as "parent resource coordinators" in Richmond, Virginia. They design activities that support parent involvement. Parent coordinators encourage parents to become active in the PTA, sponsor a GED program, and participate in weekly parent workshops.
