The idea for this type of collaboration started a few years ago, when Mary DeLuney, ESP staff development coordinator, happened to run into David Bonthius, director of Saint Mary's Master of Education program.
...
DeLuney got the district to approach the university about creating a program for paras, and Bonthius set the idea of how the university could help in motion.
...
DeLuney and former MFT para president Mary Jo Connelly, with staff from Saint Mary's, helped design the courses, which also have the core competencies for Minnesota paraprofessionals embedded in them.
