Teacher Assistant Professional Certification so you can work as a teacher's aide. You'll learn how paraprofessional educators assist with classroom instruction and build a foundation in educational principles like classroom management. Most importantly, you'll develop strategies to support students of different learning abilities in reading, writing, and math.
At the end of the course, students will schedule their ParaPro exam at Prometric Link
