The Connecticut Guidelines for Training and Support of Paraprofessionals was published and endorsed by the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) to inform and guide district personnel in the many important factors to consider in the use of paraprofessionals, specifically their training and effective use of their skills. The CSDE highly recommends that the Guidelines be used as the foundation for identifying and clarifying appropriate paraprofessional roles related to instruction. It is important that once these roles are identified, the paraprofessional continues to work under the direct supervision of a certified teacher and receive ongoing specialized training and professional development.
