Supporting Our Own through ESP Mentoring: Lessons from the Field
Education Support Professionals (ESPs) are an integral part of the education team that supports student learning. When ESPs are hired, they are often left alone to “figure out” what their job entails. This leads to poor job satisfaction, high turnover, and weaker performance. When ESP mentoring is done right, it can lead to improved outcomes for students, greater retention of ESPs, higher job satisfaction, greater confidence, and leadership development.
This session will explore ESP mentoring and how to justify the importance of mentoring to the district, build the program from the bottom up, and document the success of the program through data collection and analysis. Participants will receive information and materials they can bring back to their locals that can be customized to meet their needs. ESP mentoring uses the ESP Professional Growth Continuum (PGC) as its foundation, providing a vision for each ESP career family as ESPs develop their professional learning goals.
Protect Our Schools Together (POST) tool
The Protect Our Schools Together (POST) tool, created by NEA, provides a powerful, real-time means to document COVID-19 safety concerns in schools, such as violations of health and safety agreements—or inappropriate management activity and responses—and other conditions which could lead to COVID-19 outbreaks. This training helps members to develop and implement effective use of the tool, including next steps and how to create a plan of action.

Fighting Privatization in a Time of Crisis
The current state of affairs in our nation and schools should not paralyze our activism, particularly when it comes to resisting the privatization of Education Support Professionals.

We can and will fight privatization today, and tomorrow, regardless of conditions. Participate in this webinar to learn logistics and techniques, and be inspired to do what is necessary to keep public education out of the hands of profiteers.

Supporting Students at Times of Crisis
Crisis is common in the lives of students, whether due to a crisis involving a student's individual family or one that affects the entire school community. These crises have the potential to cause short- and long-term effects on the psychological functioning, emotional adjustment, health, and developmental trajectory of children. ESPs play a vital role in providing important support to students through their individual interactions with students as well as through the impact they have collectively on the school climate. This webinar provides practical suggestions for identifying common adjustment difficulties in children in the aftermath of a crisis and promoting effective coping strategies to reduce the impact of the crisis.
The Role of ESPs in Creating a School Climate for Grieving Students

This webinar helps participants develop a shared understanding of racial justice in education, recognize how social injustices impact our students of color, and develop strategies to engage in dialogue with colleagues and community about racial justice.
