Abstract: This document discusses the educational aide program in the state of Ohio. Section I discusses the paid educational aide. The goal of the paid teacher aide program is to improve instruction; the objectives of the program are: (1) teachers will spend more time directly involved in significant high-level teaching and learning functions; (2) teachers will spend more time designing effective teaching strategies; (3) teachers will be more personally involved with pupils; (4) the basic skills program will improve; and (5) teachers will have more energy to devote to teaching. Guidelines are recommended for the selection, training, supervision, and continuous progress evaluation of educational aides and auxiliary personnel. A selection of questions and answers concerns the content and intent of the Educational Aide Statute of the Ohio Revised Code. The permanent regulations for issuance of the educational aide permit are listed. Ethical conduct is briefly discussed. The second section deals with the volunteer educational aide. It is stressed that understanding the volunteer is important to the development of effective utilization of the aide. Suggested steps for initiation of a volunteer aide program include: (1) recruitment of volunteers; (2) selection and placement; (3) criteria for volunteers; (4) orientation and training; (5) utilization of volunteers; (6) supervision and program coordination; (7) motivation and recognition; and (8) evaluation. The appendix includes: (1) The Revised Code of Ohio Educational Aide Statute; (2) Opinion No. 69-145; (3) a chart showing the organization and development of a volunteer program; (4) sample forms and questionnaires; and (5) a reading list.
