This will be my third year as a 1:1 ESP in a 3rd-5th grade SUCCESS classroom. Before that, I worked as as substitute part -time, mostly in elementary special education for 3 years. I really enjoy working with kids, especially kids with special needs. I like trying to figure out practical and creative ways to help them learn because each kid is different.
I wanted to get involved with the union because I believe that unions are still one of the best ways that working class people can build community and improve our lives and our working conditions.
