Paraeducator

Position Purpose

The role and assignments of a paraeducator are not defined by a particular student, setting or program, but rather by students' needs as determined by the multi-disciplinary team. While every attempt will be made to keep the assignments over the course of the school year, it may be necessary to change a paraeducator's original job assignment to another to meet the varying needs of the students in the district.

Essential Performance Responsibilities

The paraeducator primarily works in classrooms, libraries and computer labs assisting the teacher in reinforcement and enhancement of lessons. Paraeducators working with special education students are expected to be knowledgeable of each student's Individual Educational Plans (IEP).

Paraeducators are expected to attend all training sessions offered by the Portsmouth School Department that are specifically designed for them during the scheduled work times.

  • Document student progress as specified by the teacher and or therapist
  • Assist/monitor students on and off the bus
  • Reinforce or enhance learning of basic hygiene, or provide toileting, diapering and feeding assistance, if required by a specific job assignment and as trained.
