Motivating Paraeducators to Be Actively Involved in Physical Education Programs
Lytle, Rebecca; Lieberman, Lauren; Aiello, Rocco
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance (JOPERD), v78 n4 p26-30, 50 Apr 2007
Many paraeducators work with individuals with disabilities and follow them throughout their day to their various classes. In such cases, the paraeducator may be asked to attend physical education with the child with a disability and do tasks he or she is not trained to do. Paraeducators can be extremely helpful in many ways, but there is a need to provide them with training and support that will help them to become an asset to a physical education class and develop a feeling of ownership.
