ESP Virtual Conference: Raising Education Support Professionals by Elevating Careers Together

Join us at our Education Support Professionals Virtual Conference on Saturday, February 3. Whether you are a secretary, custodian, food service worker, aide, bus driver, president of your local, building representative, or member—this session is for you.

Our topic is “Raising Education Support Professionals by Elevating Careers Together” and will be presented by Jill Scarcelli and Debra Ward Mitchell from Illinois’ rESPect Coordinated Campaign.

Support staff 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.

So it’s time we start treating them that way!
