What is a Paraprofessional?

You don't need a teaching certification - or a bachelor's degree - to have a rich, meaningful career helping young people learn and grow. Teacher's aides - otherwise paraprofessionals - support classroom communities by preparing materials, tutoring students, and assisting teachers as they monitor, guide, and care for their pupils. Here you will make the best move you’ve made in a while. CDSS Prestige Professionals Pipeline guides you through the exact steps needed to become a certified teacher's aide in the state of Illinois.
