How do I become a Paraeducator?
Becoming a paraeducator is a dynamic and rewarding career for those passionate about education and making a difference. As a paraeducator, you play a vital role in supporting teachers and students, providing essential one-on-one assistance to those who need it most.
If you love working closely with students and forming meaningful connections, this is the perfect role for you. Every day, you'll have the opportunity to positively impact young lives and contribute to their success and growth.
Paraeducators are essential team members in K-12 schools, working under the guidance of certificated staff to assist with student instruction and curriculum planning. To become a paraeducator in Washington State, you must meet the requirements set by the Professional Educator Standards Board (PESB). If you don't meet the college prerequisites, achieving a qualifying score on one of the board approved paraeducator assessments will make you eligible.
