Your job related to the IEP is to:

• A. Implement supports under teacher supervision.
• B. Write the IEP independently.
• C. Decide on all services.
• D. Approve the IEP.

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that a paraprofessional supports and carries out the IEP as written, under teacher supervision. This means you implement the supports and accommodations described in the student’s plan, help with instructional activities, behavior supports, and any assistive technologies, and you may collect progress data to help the team monitor outcomes. You don’t write the IEP, decide on services, or approve the plan—those responsibilities belong to the IEP team, including qualified staff and often the school administrator, with input from specialists and the parents. Acting under supervision ensures the plan is followed accurately and aligns with the student’s goals.
