Instructional Assistants and Paraprofessionals Notice

Tindley Accelerated Schools is applying for an Ed-Flex Waiver for our Title I funding to provide flexibility in the credentials held by our Instructional Assistants and Paraprofessionals. This waiver will allow these positions to be filled by staff who maintain their eligibility with an extended list of qualifications. The staff attend the same professional development as our teachers, including our Summer Teacher Institute, weekly professional development sessions at their schools, and training provided by external partners, and are evaluated on the same requirements as our teachers. If you would like more information regarding this waiver or the required qualifications, or would like to provide feedback, please contact your school’s Principal by November 10, 2024.
