St. Paul, MO, US,

The Archdiocese of St. Louis Catholic Education and Formation is a vibrant coalition of schools dedicated to helping children develop a strong sense of purpose, faith, and personal value while receiving a high-quality education in a welcoming and supportive community. Founded more than 200 years ago through the missionary work of St. Rose Philippine Duchesne, our network serves more than 50,000 students in PreK–12 programs across an 11-county region.

Our educational mission is rooted in a higher calling to honor and celebrate the unique gifts God has given each child, fostering academic excellence, spiritual growth, and a secure foundation for the future. The paraprofessional supports students by providing instructional and behavioral assistance as outlined in individual learning plans. Working under the direction of the classroom teacher and learning consultant, the paraprofessional assists with modified instruction, skill reinforcement, remedial support, behavioral interventions, and real-time coaching to help students achieve their educational goals.

The paraprofessional reports to the principal and collaborates closely with teachers and learning consultants to implement learning plans, collect and report student data, and communicate student progress. Training, resources, and ongoing guidance will be provided by the learning consultant, classroom teachers, One Classroom staff, and/or other designated support personnel.
