Unlocking Professional Growth: RTS Paraeducator Program

In the dynamic field of education, seizing opportunities for professional development is crucial. Resource Training & Solutions' partners with The Master Teacher to provide Paraeducator Online Training & Assessment. This program provides paraeducators with the opportunity to enhance their skills and propel their career.

Success Stories from Dassel-Cokato and Kaleidoscope Charter School:

Recently, member schools have shared with us that providing time for staff to do the training modules and practice assessments together increased the rate at which their staff passed the exam. Staci Barth, the Business Office Administrative Assistant at Dassel-Cokato School District, shared that their staff was provided 8 hours of paid training time and the opportunity to meet with their Principal and/or Special Education Coordinator for help with the training modules. “This was viewed very highly in our district. We have great Principals supporting this and checking in with their staff.”

Kaleidoscope Charter School, another one of our member schools, completed the training modules as a group and showed great results. “We are now 100% highly qualified! Thank you for all your help,” says Jennifer Tousignant, Special Education Coordinator. “Everyone was just so nervous! I am glad we did the training together as a group. I think that helped a lot.”
