In March 1968, the Associated Organization for Teacher Education (AOTE) authorized a task force to study educational personnel for the urban schools. This report grows out of the task force examination of the use of paraprofessional personnel, in concept and operational terms. The report has been divided into three areas: a) educational manpower, b) differentiated staffing, and c) AOTE's role. The first section concerns the need for an educational transformation having a new clarity of educational objectives and a different organization of manpower to achieve the goals of a human community with work skills and cooperative living. Part II deals with the concept of new roles in the learning-teaching process, some models of the concept, and some considerations extracted from a broad base of experiences which are relative to the process of model research and development. The final section describes the stance and role of AOTE within the limits of its resources. Each section contains references. (MJM)
