Building Winning Teams: Effective Paraeducator-Teacher Teams
Thursday August 28, 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. ET
To ensure student success, it is critical that teachers and paraeducators understand their roles and responsibilities, work collaboratively, communicate effectively, and respect one another in the process. That’s why NEA offers Building Winning Teams: Effective Paraeducator-Teacher Teams, a series of trainings designed for teams to engage in together.
In this member-led webinar, participants will explore key highlights and learnings of Building Winning Teams, and will learn next steps for deeper engagement with the program. For this virtual event, joining as a team is optional; individual attendees are welcome.
All Things Local
Thursday, June 26, 7:00 p.m. ET
When organizing for justice in a hostile environment, one effective tactic is to decentralize your organizing and focus on local issues. During the 1970s and ‘80, activists in Latin America engaged in comunidad de base, or base community organizing. As a union that has a structure with locals as our base, are we uniquely positioned to withstand bad times? How do we build capacity in our locals for whatever may come? Join us for the final webinar in our series with Susana O’Daniel rom NEA’s Strategic Federal Partnerships department.
What Is This, and How Do We Get Through It?
Thursday, June 12, 7:00 p.m. ET
If you continue to hear that our current government is not normal, there’s a reason. We are living in a precarious time when the Executive Branch is assuming powers not granted under the Constitution. Moreover, this power is being used in part to destroy public education, health care, labor unions, and democracy. Other people in other nations have gone through similar challenges. What can we learn from them? Join us, as Susana O’Daniel from NEA’s Strategic Federal Partnerships department leads us through a fascinating discussion.
It’s Not Red v Blue; It’s Rich v You
Thursday, May 15, 7 p.m. ET
Maybe the nation will never agree on Red or Blue, but we can certainly agree that those working hard should not be exploited by those of privilege who are hardly working. Attend this webinar and learn how federal policy is being manipulated to disadvantage you. Also, learn how, together, we reclaim our right to opportunity and a fair deal.
Please join us this evening as Susana O’Daniel from NEA’s Strategic Federal Partnerships department leads us through the first of several important discussions about our current political and cultural challenges.
How to Strengthen Your Engagement with Families and the Community
Presenters: Margaret Caspe, PhD, NAFSCE and Sherri Wilson, NAFSCE
Wednesday, May 14 at 7:00 p.m. ET
Education support professionals play an important role in meeting the needs of students and school communities. Their reach extends beyond school grounds and into the communities they work in as coaches of sports teams, members of parent organizations, or volunteers for a local food drive. As stewards of the community, they have the opportunity to engage with families to ensure the best possible outcomes for students. Join us and National Association for Family, School, and Community Engagement (NAFSCE) as we share strategies for building meaningful relationships with families and the community to create the safe, welcoming, and inclusive environments our students deserve.
