Summary:<p> This study is a replication of Janet Jabs&rsquo; &ldquo;What&rsquo;s my job? Perspectives on Paraeducators Roles&rdquo; completed in 2000.

Overall results revealed that there were some discrepancies and agreements between teachers and EAs as to what tasks an EA is responsible for within the classroom. </p><p>
