The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 requires that paraprofessionals who provide instructional support must have an associate's degree or pass a rigorous state-developed assessment. Meeting highly qualified teacher criteria or obtaining a bachelor's degree are not mandatory requirements for paraprofessionals under the NCLB Act. Increased responsibilities in IEP meetings may be a career development opportunity but are not related to the qualifications needed to be a paraprofessional under the NCLB Act.
