IEA Education Support Professional Council

Save the Date! Presenters Needed!! Do you or do you know of someone who is an “expert” on a topic that would benefit ESP. The ESP Council is looking for presenters for the next One Conference, 2nd-3rd October 2020.

Do you have something that you’re passionate about? Do you teach yoga (self care)? Do you have special tips and tricks in your job category? How about presenting the benefits of an ESP mentoring program? There are countless topics that would benefit ESP. Share your talents with others.

Please submit your proposal! Deadline is April 20th. Please contact me if you have any questions.

This had tears running down my checks. Finally someone gets it!! When you feel respected and valued, it makes all the difference in the world. Please know today, your union family sees how amazing you are, knows that what you do (at home or in school) is vital to our students and communities. As we navigate these next few weeks and months we are here for you to remind you that you are smart, brave, vital, and together we can face anything!

I hope this makes you smile!!!

From safety and pay issues to professional supports, local and state associations are quickly addressing urgent workplace issues.

Yes! We Still Need to Support the Census Here’s how you can help make sure your students and communities will get the resources they need, even during school closures.

“We are critical in helping the students and families we serve get through this crisis,” says special education paraprofessional Andrea Beeman.

What’s Included in the COVID-19 Stimulus Package? A six-month suspension of student loan payments, rental assistance, money for ESP pay, and more. But educators are still fighting for additional help.

I hope you enjoy!! 🙂

Remember when you were so busy to take time for yourself? Remember when you wished you could read a book or get to that project? Now is the time for you to do the things you’ve wanted to get done. You don’t have to have a spotless house….no one is coming over. You don’t have that long commute, most of us are already at work. Now is the time to take a few minutes to breathe and remember you are Amazing, you are Smart, what you do everyday matters! Especially taking care of yourself.
