"Paraeducator Online [Training] has been an amazing tool to help further educate hundreds of paras throughout our 15 different districts across South Central Kansas. I do have to say that customer service is absolutely FLAWLESS! Even if I have questions after hours, I know there will be an email with an answer waiting for me when I get back into the office the next morning. We often joke in our office about how we can strive to be like The Master Teacher! Seriously, this is an amazing service that has been a pleasure to work with. Keep up the amazing work! It shows how much time and dedication your entire team puts into this program."
— Cassie Phye, South Central Kansas Special Education Cooperative, KS
"Our state has utilized the Paraeducator Online Training and Certification Program to support training and continuing education of our paraeducators for the last three years. It has been tremendously beneficial and impactful in providing our paraeducators with the tools and strategies they need to best support our learners. From the setup, to the modules, assessments to reports, and everything in between, we are supported every step of the way by the team at The Master Teacher. We would recommend this platform to anyone looking to support their staff and maximize student learning."
— Danette Brown, South East Education Cooperative, ND
"We have provided our paraprofessionals the program for at least 15 years. Each of them can choose a topic that best suits the student(s) they provide services for.

— Stephanie Fedei, Fairview School District, PA

— Mary Kay Donegan, Avon Central School, NY
