Introduction: The training packages provide slides, scripts, and handouts based on materials in the OPEPP modules. These materials help educators use the information in the OPEPP modules to structure professional development sessions for paraprofessionals and the teachers who work with them. The different training packages pull from different modules, and they structure sessions requiring different time commitments.
