Supervising Paraeducators: Practices and Perceptions of Special Education Teachers and Administrators

This study will examine the perceptions of special education teachers regarding their supervision of paraeducators to aid in determining the need to provide educators and administrators with professional development in supervisory practices. The numbers of paraeducators in school settings have continued to increase, thus causing roles for both teachers and paraeducators to evolve. This descriptive study examined six key supervisory functions: (a) clarifying roles, (b) planning work assignments, (c) directing and delegating tasks, (d) monitoring performance, (e) evaluating performance, (f) mentoring and training.
