Part 2: Registering Course Participants

This document provides instructions on how to register course participants in the Project Para Self-Study program.  Once a district administrators registration request is reviewed and approved by the Project Para team, course students may begin to be enrolled through the steps below either by district admin, registered supervisors, or the course students themselves. 

2. On the “Add User” page, fill in all information fields and click the green “Register” button at the bottom of the page.

There are four options for Roles:

• District Admin - supervises para course and/or supervisor course students across multiple schools in a district.

• School Supervisor (formerly "instructor") - supervises para course students in a single school.

• Para Course Student - user taking the course.

• Supervisor Course Student - user taking the "supervisors of paraeducators" course.

• There are additional administrative roles available.  Please contact ESUCC to inquire for further details.

3. After clicking the “Register” button, an automated email will be sent to the paraeducator/paraprofessional notifying them of their account pending approval and activation.

4. After adding a para participants account, district administrators will now need to activate the account. To activate an account, click on “My Paras” at the top of the site.

5. Under the “My Paras” page, you will see a list of para participant profiles listed. To activate the account, on the very right-hand side of the table under “Disable/Enable”, you will find a toggle switch. Click on the toggle to switch it to green. Green indicates the profile is now active in the system, while gray indicates the profile is inactive.

6. Once an account has been activated, para participants will receive an email from ESUCC regarding a course invitation to Canvas. Enrollment instructions for Canvas are outlined in Part 3: Enrolling in Canvas & Accessing Paraeducator Self-Study Training Materials.
