Classroom support makes all the difference...

Classrooms are more inclusive, diverse, and dynamic than every before. Therefore, the demand for paraprofessionals has been steadily climbing over the past decade.

NASET's Paraprofessional Skills Preparation Program (PSPP) empowers you with practical strategies, expert guidance, and the foundational knowledge you need to thrive in this essential role—no matter the classroom or student population. 


But most paraprofessionals never receive formal training.

That means you're often left to learn on the job—without the tools, strategies, or clarity you need to feel confident and effective.

The result? Confusion, stress, and missed opportunities to truly support the students and teachers who rely on you.
