How to Start a Teacher's Assistant's Association
Dear Association, I once worked in the state of NC as a teacher's assistant for 13 years. I had to relocate to AL for family reasons. The benefits here are a far cry from benefits in NC. We do not have any workshops. We have a little something they call staff development but is not. And no related job training for assistants. Also the pay is a disgrace. We do not feel valued here. What can we do to improve things here? How could we start our own association, one that would look out for our best intrest and the children?
