Most of the district's paras spent today at Topeka West High School attending professional development sessions. There, they could attend a wide variety of classes that will help them prepare for the students they serve. Some of the class choices offered to the paras included: Basic First Aid, Behavior Tips for Autism, Characteristics of Disabilities, Mental Health First Aid, Math Strategies, Corrective Reading, and many others.
Topeka Public Schools requires that all paraprofessionals receive at least 20 hours of training each year. Today's classes will help them reach that goal.
Welcome back to school and have a wonderful year, paras!
