Does training in the Washington State Core Competencies for Paraeducators meet the Title I requirements?
No. Training related to Washington’s 14 core competencies is not traditionally related to assisting with instruction specifically in reading, writing, and mathematics. If training related to Competencies 9, 10, and 11 included instructional strategies specifically related to reading, writing, and mathematics, then the time could be used as a component to meet the Title I requirements through the Portfolio Assessment process.
