In Their Own Words:
"The keynote speakers were amazing. Each was encouraging, engaging, and full of knowledge and information. I enjoyed and received a lot of information through most of the training courses I took. Very rewarding to learn more to help support the children I work with on a daily basis. Discussing topics and sharing ideas with other para-educators from other parts of the US and supporting each other. Having the conference virtually allowed myself and my colleagues to attend conveniently."
"I appreciate the way this conference solidified the importance of my role in the classroom, school, and my students' lives. Highlighted my feelings that paraeducators are underpaid and underrepresented, but overall do so much. I'm so thankful for the tangible strategies I am walking away with. I feel empowered for work on Monday!"
"I loved hearing the passion of the presenters, and learning that I was not alone in how I was feeling about my role in the classroom."
"What I enjoyed most about the conference was seeing paraeducators working in different locations all at once, and the fact that they were working so hard was very encouraging."
"I enjoyed this conference very much. I want to go back and watch the sessions I missed. I hope to be able to do this conference again next year."
