GACE® Paraprofessional
Assessment
The GACE Paraprofessional assessment (test code 177) is
designed to enable individuals and school districts to satisfy
state and federal No Child Left Behind requirements that call
for "highly qualified paraprofessionals." It is a single test
that consists of selected-response (multiple choice) questions
and is offered as an Internet-based test and as a paper-based
test. Only the Internet-based version of the test is available
at the Macon State College Educational Technology
Center. For information about paper-based testing, see the
"2007–2008 GACE Registration Bulletin" at:
