Teacher shortages and low pay have made it harder for schools to find the people they need. Every day, substitute educators step in to fill the gap when it’s needed most.
Educators arrive early, stay late, and take work home, whether they’re grading papers and making lesson plans, or preparing buses, meals, and safe spaces for students. It’s time to respect their time, value their work, and invest in their success. https://coloea.org/AmericanEducationWeekPledge
Education Support Professionals keep our schools safe, clean, welcoming, and connected, but too many earn below a living wage and work multiple jobs just to get by.

Education Support Professionals are the backbone of our schools, ensuring safe, clean, and welcoming spaces for every student to learn. Let’s take a moment to celebrate the colleagues who keep our schools going.
