Did you know that we also help Paraprofessionals achieve certification?

Join us online, via Zoom, for our Paraprofessional Virtual Institute. This training consists of an orientation into the roles and responsibilities of educational aides, a breakdown of the stages of learning, a comprehensive look at the writing process, a review of behavior basics, and much more. Participants will enjoy a fast-paced and informative experience that includes group discussions, assignments, and assessments, certifying that they’re ready for the rewards and challenges of being an educational aide. This training is open to anyone in the state of Texas and also meets the state requirements for a Title 1, Part A Paraprofessional.

If you’re interested in becoming a trainer in order to hold Paraprofessional Institutes in you district, visit our website to learn more about our TOT option.

ECP Now Offering Three Learning Formats!

Offered statewide, our programs provide the flexibility and support you need to transition confidently into the classroom. With multiple learning formats—including structured in-person cohorts, fully online cohorts, and a balanced hybrid model (a blend of in-person and online learning)—you can choose the path that fits your schedule and learning style.

Select the format that best fits your needs:

• Structured, in-person is best for candidates who prefer traditional classroom learning, thrive with accountability, and can attend classes at Region 13 ESC.
• Live, Online is best for candidates across Texas who want flexibility, prefer learning from home, and still value live online interaction.
• Balanced Hybrid is best for candidates near Region 13 who are self-motivated but value occasional in-person community and hands-on activities.
