Educational Aides Make a Difference

Instructional Aides / Paraprofessionals play an invaluable role by supporting professional instructors throughout the educational process. ACC is proud to help Instructional Aides / ParaEducators meet the qualified standards established under the "Every Child Succeeds Act" legislation by offering our three day institute necessary in Texas for employment.

Be Prepared!

Day one of the program covers the ins and outs of working successfully with a licensed educator. Day two dives into the various learning styles of students and the appropriate instructional processes to address each style. Day three covers the core subjects of Reading, Writing, and Mathematics.

Achieve Your Certification

To earn the Instructional Aide / ParaEducator Statement of Training, participants must attend all three days of the program; provide proof of a high school diploma/GED and/or an official college transcript reflecting 42 hours of coursework, or an associate's degree (scan and email, hand deliver, or mail to contact). A final evaluation must be passed on the last day.
