Working Together: Resource Teachers and Paraeducators.

French, Nancy K.

Remedial and Special Education, v19 n6 p357-68 Nov-Dec 1998

This study examined the relationship between 18 pairs of special-education resource teachers and the paraeducators they supervise. Teachers were divided in their beliefs about the fundamental role of paraeducators, whether as assistants to the teacher or to the student. Teachers also expressed reluctance about their supervisory role, preferring to view paraeducators as peers. (Author/DB)
