Document Number: 4914 Focus on an Untapped Classroom Resource: Helping Paraprofessionals Become Teachers - Noting the requirements paraprofessionals in Title I-funded schools must meet under the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001, this policy brief furthers the discussion about paraprofessionals as a potential source of new classroom teachers.
