[quote=Anonymous]In some ways the high school level can be easier because you are working more on functional life skills. However, there are still students that may be in diapers which you may be responsible in helping to change even if you have paraprofessional support in the classroom. There can also be challenging behaviors and definitely challenging parents (though I don't think it is as bad compared to elementary and middle school). Because Special Education is a high need, I would look into grants and scholarships. For example, if you work in a title 1 school you can get your student loans forgiven. And many districts will cover the cost of your masters if you are already working for them. You could also try starting out as a para educator - which will help you see if you like the job and will get your foot in the door as well as have the potential to have the district cover your schooling costs.
Keep in mind that the paperwork can be very daunting. That being said, it is a very great and noble job. [/quote]
