Prairie Lakes AEA has received the Teacher and Paraeducator Registered Apprenticeship (TPRA) Grant Program offered by the State of Iowa. This grant allows us to offer the Paraeducator Certification Courses to school district staff for free! The summer session of these courses, which typically cost $427, will be no cost for participants for the courses or application fees. Participants will be responsible for their fingerprinting fee which ranges between $15-$25.
Participants may choose from two options. Dates and details for each cohort are below and classes. There is also coursework that is required to be completed online. Please note Cohort II is now being offered virtually (not face to face as previously communicated).
