Welcome to the Administrator page. On this page, you will find links that answer many questions administrators ask, such as:
I’m a member of the Colorado CO-TOP Coalition, I have some CO-TOP Trainers in my district, and would like to hold CO-TOP training in my district. How do I submit a request for a CO-TOP academy to The PAR²A Center?
Go to Set
Up a Class
Join the CO-TOP Coalition in Colorado
What do I do if we do not have paraeducator training in a Colorado district?
All Colorado districts may participate in the CO-TOP Coalition at any time without cost and are eligible for all the benefits Coalition membership imparts. Please contact a PAR²A Center representative, or the CO-TOP Coordinator to
find out how to join.
I do not have paraeducator training in my district. How can I set up training in my district, state or region?
The CO-TOP program is used throughout Colorado, Montana, Hawaii and Idaho. Other states such as New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Maryland are using parts of the CO-TOP Model or CO-TOP Curriculum to train their paraeducators. Go to Set Up Para Training.
What CO-TOP trainings are presently being held in Colorado?
Our calendar contains all this information and more, including selected national and state conferences, and other training opportunities.
How do I find a CO-TOP trainer to teach a CO-TOP academy in my Colorado district?
Our Trainer
Database lists Colorado trainers who are willing to
travel to various parts of the state. All CO-TOP Coalition
members are eligible to employ CO-TOP trainers from other
districts. The trainer database is not available for trainings
outside Colorado. To find out how to get training outside
Colorado, please contact Paraeducator
Training Resources,
the company that publishes the CO-TOP Curriculum and provides
training outside Colorado.
Is there money available to help pay the cost for CO-TOP training?
The PAR²A Center currently has two projects that
provide funds for paraeducator training systems. One project
is the CO-TOP*ELA project
for paraeducators who want to go on to community college
after completing CO-TOP courses. The other project is IM-TOP
and it provides funding and other supports to districts in
Idaho and Maryland who are implementing CO-TOP training.
- If you are in Maryland, please contact The PAR²A Center Executive Director by phone or email and ask about funding for districts in Maryland.
I would like to learn more about CO-TOP .
I have no idea what CO-TOP is,
but the paraeducators in my district need training and I’d like to find something good.
