The job of the Paraprofessional is to provide assistance and support in the classroom. The Paraprofessional works closely with teachers, administrators and other educational team members to provide educational benefits to all students. The Paraprofessional Exam is a general aptitude test that is required by many states to be an instructional assistant in an educational institution.
Instructional Assistant I and Instructional Assistant II, Special Education and Bilingual must comply with the Federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). NCLB imposes numerous requirements on state and local education agencies. One of these requirements is that all paraprofessionals working in Title I schools must be “highly qualified.” In order to be “highly qualified,” a paraprofessional must meet one of the following requirements:
- Completion of at least two years of college education (48 semester units). or
- Possession of an associate’s degree or higher. or
- Successful completion of the Paraprofessional Exam.
