  1. Which of the following is the paraprofessional's primary role during whole-class direct instruction?

    Answer: Monitor student behavior and provide quiet support to assigned students

    During teacher-led instruction, paraprofessionals support engagement and assist individual students without taking over instruction.

  2. A student with an IEP requires extended time on tests. The paraprofessional is asked to administer the test in a separate setting. What must the paraprofessional ensure?

    Answer: Accommodations are implemented exactly as written in the IEP

    IEP accommodations are legally binding and must be implemented precisely as documented.

  3. How should a paraprofessional handle a student who asks for help with every single problem on an independent practice worksheet?

    Answer: Provide a prompt or question that helps the student attempt the problem independently

    Prompting rather than answering builds student independence and self-efficacy.

  4. A paraprofessional observes a student being bullied by peers in the hallway. What is the correct response?

    Answer: Intervene to stop the behavior, ensure student safety, and report it to the supervising teacher or administrator

    All school staff are obligated to stop bullying, protect student safety, and report incidents through proper channels.

  5. Which scaffolding technique is most effective when a student does not understand written directions?

    Answer: Paraphrase the directions into simpler language and check for understanding

    Paraphrasing into accessible language makes directions comprehensible without doing the work for the student.

  6. When should a paraprofessional share detailed student performance information with a parent who asks directly?

    Answer: Only through the appropriate school staff (teacher or administrator), not directly

    Communication about student progress should flow through certified staff to ensure accuracy, context, and FERPA compliance.

  7. A paraprofessional is working with a student on a reading passage when the student makes a self-correction. What is the best response?

    Answer: Praise the self-correction to reinforce the monitoring strategy

    Praising self-correction reinforces the metacognitive strategy of monitoring one's own reading for meaning.
