This paraeducator course examines the purpose of student data collection, as well as gathering methods, use, recording, and regulatory compliance for student data.    

The Fundamental Course of Study Course Outline, approved by the Paraeducator Board on January 10, 2018, is the required course framework providers must utilize to create the paraeducator Fundamental Course of Study. The course outline aligns with the paraeducator standards of practice. 

This is an online, asynchronous course delivered via the Canvas platform. Even if you have already used Canvas in your district, you will need to create an account in ESD 112's Canvas instance if you have not previously taken an online Canvas class through ESD 112. Please follow the directions in the email you will receive after you register for the class.

Once you have completed the course, the facilitator will be notified and will add the para hours to your transcript. 

Please do NOT share the Canvas course invite link with other people, if you have registered. Participants must register here, on the pdEnroller catalog listing, before they can take the course and earn the clock hours. 

If you are a paraeducator, please talk with your district BEFORE registering for a class at the ESD to support the Fundamental Course of Study to ensure that it aligns with your districts plans for training.  

If using a purchase order (PO) to pay for the course, please have your school district contact me (amy.glenn@esd112.org).
