Paraeducators play an important role in the education of students with significant disabilities. They can best contribute to improving student outcomes when they are skilled in using evidence-based practices. Tiered training is a practical and promising solution for how teachers can train teams of paraeducators to use evidence-based practices. Like a Response to Intervention (RTI) model for students, tiered staff training involves providing initial training for groups of paraeducators, monitoring their performance, and then providing follow-up coaching to only the paraeducators who need extra support. In this article, each step of tiered training is described with examples. This step-by-step guide is informed by a series of research studies in which tiered training was tested with more than 60 paraeducators who serve students with significant disabilities in public schools.

偏教育者在严重残疾学生的教育中起着重要的作用。当他们熟练使用循证实践时，它们可以为改善学生的学习成果做出最大的贡献。分层培训是一种实用且有前途的解决方案，可用于教师如何培训辅助教育者团队使用循证实践。就像针对学生的干预响应（RTI）模型一样，分层的员工培训包括为复习者小组提供初始培训，监控他们的表现，然后仅对需要额外支持的复习者提供后续指导。在本文中，通过示例描述了分层训练的每个步骤。
