IEA Education Support Professional Council
Education Support Professional Council consists of thirteen (13) members all of whom are ESP school employees and members of the Illinois Education Association. The ESP council's goal is to represent and support ESP's throughout Illinois.
What makes our schools/universities work? It’s the ESPs, the education support professionals! All of the amazing lunch and recess supervisors, custodians, maintenance, and so many more essential job categories that support our students and schools throughout each and every day.
We’ve reached 10,000 views, let’s go for 20,000. Help us share and spread the word about who ESPs are and how they make schools work.

ESP Leaders are creating change — and you can, too
What makes a good leader? Just ask these four support professionals who have answered the call to advocate for public education.
As an education support professional, you know you have an essential role in the day-to-day work of schools, but you also play a unique role you may not even be aware of. Your smiling face, your understanding look, and your extra effort can help welcome families, build trust, and forge powerful communication highways between school and home. This webinar will highlight the knowledge and skills you need to make the most of every interaction you have with parents and caregivers. You will leave with a greater understanding of the power you have when it comes to engaging families and a greater understanding of how to use your words, tone, and information to build relationships and help bring families into the learning process.
Presenters: Patricia Weinzapfel, M.S. Shasta Rosales, ESP Leader, WY

Our #IEAESPCouncil spent this weekend learning and growing as a team. We spent this time focusing on ourselves and learning to gel as a team, so we can better focus on the Education Support Professional members we represent.
I want to give a special thank you to IEA Secretary/Treasurer Gina Harris for joining and learning with us as we learned and practiced important Team Building skills. Also, a shout out to IEA Vice-President Karl Goeke for stopping by and encouraging our team.
Huge props to Amy Evans and Michael Williamson as they lead our True Colors session on Friday evening, and Robert Powell and Adrian Vargas for leading Team Building session on Saturday morning. Our council is better focused, more cohesive, and better prepared because of your great leadership. Thank you!!

ESPs truly are the backbone of every school community. They play a critical role in the lives of our students and our schools. They are some of the most valuable people in a building and their value is so often overlooked when districts/universities are looking at their budgets. Join us to learn how you can help build a movement of rESPect. It’s time we start treating them that way!
It is time to EDUCATE!
