As a paraprofessional, you’ll encourage young learners, support teachers, and help students feel seen and capable—whether you’re guiding them through a lesson or just offering a smile when they need it. You’ll bring patience, kindness, and a steady presence to every day.

What Success Looks Like:

Students feel supported, safe, and included in the classroom
Kids make progress in their learning and try new things with your encouragement
Teachers trust and rely on you for daily support
The classroom is a smoother, more positive place because of your presence
By year’s end, students are more confident—and you know you helped them get there

Qualifications:

Must have a high school diploma or equivalent
Must have an associate degree, 48 college credits or successfully pass a rigorous test approved by the PA Dept of Education
The following background clearances are required: Act 151, Act 34, Act 24, and IdentoGO FBI clearance
Experience working with children preferred, but not required
Must have the ability to read, write, speak, and understand English fluently

Work environment:

The work environment is lively and hands-on. You’ll spend your day in classrooms and hallways always moving and interacting with students and staff. Flexibility is important—no two days are exactly the same. You’ll be part of a supportive team that values collaboration, kindness, and making school a welcoming place for every child.
