Given that paraeducators are increasingly utilized to deliver special education services, the need for their quality preparation has come to the forefront. The authors address how standards set expectations for appropriately trained paraeducators through the use of specific knowledge and skills, offer a process for revising an existing preparation training program to reflect a standards-based program, and conclude with recommendations for implementation. This article describes the efforts of a university and community college partnership in the United States with the goal of improving the existing community college program for paraeducators by mapping curricula to the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) paraeducator standards and revising curricula to adequately prepare students to address the needs of children with disabilities.
