Knowledge and Skills for Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments Supervising the Work of Paraeducators
Lewis, Sandra; McKenzie, Amy R.
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v103 n8 p481-494 Aug 2009
Teachers of students with visual impairments and paraeducators who work with students with visual impairments were surveyed to determine if previous research related to the competencies needed by teachers who supervise paraeducators applied to this subset of special educators. Both groups confirmed the importance of the competencies, but identified differences in their demonstration by teachers of students with visual impairments. (Contains 2 tables and 2 figures.)
