Practices with Promise Spotlight
Ventura County Adult Education Consortium K-12 Volunteer and Para-educator Training in English and Spanish
|
The Venture County Adult Education Consortium includes Conejo Valley Unified School District, Oxnard Unified School District, Santa Paula Unified School District, Simi Valley Unified School District, Ventura County Community College District, and Ventura Unified School District.
THE CHALLENGE
Within one Local Education Agency (LEA) in the Ventura County Adult Education Consortium (VCAEC)there was a need for English, Spanish, and bilingual paraeducators. There was also a need for professional training for parent, family, and community volunteers. A curriculum and DVDs in English and Spanish for the Family, School, Community Partnership (FSCP) were recently developed by one of the consortium members, so the next step was to find the best teacher possible to develop the paraeducator training component. Additional planning was required to determine the venue, fund dinners for FSCP participants, hire childcare providers and a paraeducator for the program.
THE SOLUTION
Finding the best teacher to deliver a new curriculum is of paramount importance, yet in this case it was easily facilitated. The district's classified administrative assistant in charge of paraeducators had been a teen mother who participated in the district's parenting classes, was hired as a bilingual paraeducator, became the office manager at her children's elementary school, and was ultimately promoted to the district's classified administrative team. When approached about developing the paraeducator curriculum and becoming a certificated teacher for the program she was elated. The paraeducator curriculum has now been completed, and will be offered in ten weekly sessions of three hours each.
