Vermillion Elementary School is looking for a part-time Paraeducator -

Paraeducators play a vital role in our schools and the daily lives of

our students. They support and work under the guidance of a licensed

teacher to help ensure students can be successful.

The Positive Behavior Support (PBS) paraeducator works with students

whose behavior impacts their ability to learn to a significant degree.

The goal of the PBS staff is to help the student learn behavioral

control strategies that will allow them to participate with their peers

as much as possible. The younger the student the more they tend to

outwardly display behaviors such as yelling/screaming, putting head down

and not responding or even physical aggression. Training is provided to

all staff supporting students in these classrooms. This training focuses

on de-escalation and emotional regulation.
