2023 Education Support Professionals Conference

NEA-New Hampshire, with co-sponsors Pembroke Support Staff Association and the ESP Issues Committee, invites all support staff and colleagues to join us for a professional learning conference in person. With your help from the ESP survey, we have prepared workshops that you requested and training needed by support staff members. The focus of this conference is giving YOU support so you can in turn provide the many services and compassionate care that you give daily to students. All members and non-members may attend this conference if they find a topic that appeals to them.

Please join us Saturday, April 15, 2023 for the ESP Conference from 8:15AM – 3:45PM. You will earn 5.25 CEU hrs. Member price: $25; non-member price: $125; NEA Student Member price: $0 (and if you are in college, you can quickly become an NEA Student Member for $20/yr). The deadline to register for this conference is Sunday, April 2 at midnight.

NEA-New Hampshire Would Like to Assist You in Nurturing Your Resilience

In her book, Onward: Cultivating Emotional Resilience in Educators, Elena Aguilar defines resilience as:

• A way of being that allows us to bounce back quickly from adversity, and stronger than before, so that we can fulfill our purpose in life.
• An adaptive, dynamic process that includes an individual’s interactions over time in a complex environment. Context plays a role; resilience is not simply a function of one’s individual behavior. Who we are and where we are impact our ability to cultivate resilience.
• Cultivated through engaging in specific habits and by fostering specific dispositions.
• What enables us to thrive, not just survive.

There are 720 hours in a 30-day month. Would you be willing to spend one of those each month with your educator colleagues exploring ways to nurture your personal resilience and the resilience of those you care about?  NEA-New Hampshire is offering two gatherings in which members can explore ideas and strategies for nurturing their personal resilience.

Gatherings for New Educators. Beginning at 6:00 PM  on November 8th and continuing on the second Tuesday of the month throughout the school year, new educators Juliana Lofgren and Maria Dastous will be leading Real Talk and Resilience for New Educators.  These gatherings are for educators who are in their first five years of working in education. Click here to register for the gatherings.  

Gathering for Experienced Educators. Beginning at 7:00 PM on November 10 and continuing on the second Thursday of the month throughout the school year, veteran educator and school counselor Maxine Mosley will be leading a resilience gathering.  Click here to register for the gatherings.

Members who register for either of these resilience gatherings will receive a free copy of Elena’s book, Onward and the accompanying workbook through a generous grant from the National Education Association.
