Core competencies covered in this certificate prepare the Paraeducator to effectively support and extend instruction and services, thereby increasing student learning.  These core competencies revolve around the areas of instructional strategies, behavior management, and human growth and development.  The coursework is offered fully online as well as face-to-face, drawing on the expertise of local professionals and schools.
