Judy Williams, Special Education

What advice would you give to other paraeducators who are thinking of obtaining their credential?

There’s a great need for people who have been in education, such as paraeducators, to become teachers because they have much knowledge and they’ve been in the educational field. If they’re able to make the commitment to strive for what they want—make priorities and stick to them—doing that saves time because stressing out and then just dropping a commitment is no good. I say, go for it.
