American Education Week
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18: EDUCATION SUPPORT PROFESSIONALS DAY
This year we have seen ESPs go well beyond anything we have seen before as they work to meet the needs of our school communities in the midst of a pandemic. www.nea.org/resource-library/american-education-week-november-16-20-2020.
To provide support and organize around the most important issues affecting ESPs, GAE has developed a survey that can be found at gaeesp2020.questionpro.com. Please share it with a colleague and encourage them to provide their input.
