In a schoolwide program, Title I funds support all teachers and paraprofessionals.  \nHow do the new requirements apply to paraprofessionals in a Title I targeted assistance program?  \n• In a Title I targeted assistance program, the requirements apply to all paraprofessionals who are paid with Title I, Part A funds but not to paraprofessionals paid with state or local funds in targeted assistance programs.  \nMust a paraprofessional who provides services to eligible private school students and is employed by an LEA with Title I, Part A funds meet the new requirements?  \n• Yes, such a paraprofessional must meet the requirements.  \nWhat are the requirements for the supervision of paraprofessionals?  \n• Paraprofessionals who provide instructional support must work under the direct supervision of a highly qualified teacher. A paraprofessional works under the direct supervision of a teacher if (1) the teacher prepares the lessons, plans the instructional support activities the paraprofessional carries out, and evaluates the achievement of the students with whom the paraprofessional is working, and (2) the paraprofessional works in close and frequent proximity with the teacher. As a result, a program staffed entirely by paraprofessionals is not permitted.  \n• Paraprofessionals hired by a third-party contractor to work in a Title I program must work under the direct supervision of a teacher. That teacher does not have to meet the teacher qualification requirements if he/she is also employed by the third party connection.  \n• A paraprofessional who provides services to eligible private school students and is employed by an LEA must be under the direct supervision of a highly qualified public school teacher throughout the duration of the services/program","cbCaieOugvFoveu0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieOugvFoveu0","pdf",242487,"English","# Requirements for New Paraprofessionals\n# Requirements for “Not-New” Paraprofessionals (by January 2006)\n# General Education Hours Within 48 Semester Credits\n# FAQs\n## Title I Schoolwide Program Application\n## Title I Targeted Assistance Program Application\n## Private School Services and LEA Employment\n## Supervision Requirements for Paraprofessionals\n## Funding Support to Meet Requirements","[{\"question\":\"How do the new requirements apply to paraprofessionals in a Title I schoolwide program?\",\"answer\":\"They apply to all paraprofessionals in a Title I schoolwide program, regardless of whether the position is funded with federal, state, or local funds.
