Description

The ESP Professional Growth Continuum, published by NEA, identifies Communication as one of the eight Universal Standards that describe what education support professionals should know and be able to do.

If you haven't spent a lot of time exploring the communication standard, that is OK! This course, which contains seven lessons, will help you gain a solid understanding of responsible, effective communication at work. 

The ESP Professional Growth Continuum outlines skills and knowledge related to communication (and all of the eight Universal Standards) at three levels of practice. Those are:

  • Foundational (I know this)
  • Proficient (I do this consistently)
  • Advanced/Mastery (I lead this)

This self-paced, independent study course can be explored on your own, or with colleagues. It has been developed by NEA members and staff specifically for ESPs, and features the perspectives of education support professionals just like you.

I believe that this course was Great. Communication at the work site is so important. I believe in teaching these students to disconnect with their devices and look you into the eye.
