Paraeducators work closely with teachers to provide extra support to students.

Positive Behavior Support (PBS) para educator works with students whose behavior impacts their ability to learn to a significant degree. The goal of the PBS staff is to help the student learn behavioral control strategies that will allow them to participate with their peers as much as possible.
