What do you get when you attend the One Conference?

ieaesp

We know that our schools couldn’t run without the amazing education support professionals who are typically the first to arrive at school as they unlock doors and turn on lights. They are some of the first people to greet students when they arrive at school in the morning, who give students the academic support they need to become successful scholars, who carefully assist with their health, safety, and nutritional needs, and are the last people who see students safely home at the end of the day. The value of their work is priceless.

Join us for a two-day event offering:

  • Professional development and elective sessions especially created for ESPs
  • Time to collaborate with other amazing education support professionals
  • Fabulous meals (Friday: Dinner, Saturday: Breakfast, Lunch)
  • A time to be seen, heard, and appreciated!
  • Low cost – $20 registration fee – Funding may be available through your IEA local or IEA region office to cover registration and hotel fee.
