About This Lesson
This AFT toolkit is designed to help schools, unions, and communities celebrate and honor paraprofessionals and school-related personnel (PSRPs). The AFT is proud to offer practical steps for organizing recognition events, advocating for more visibility, and promoting the essential work PSRPs do. From simple appreciation gestures to larger advocacy efforts, this guide helps ensure that PSRPs receive the recognition they deserve. AFT encourages everyone to join in celebrating these vital staff members, while continuing to push for structural changes, including fair wages, respect, and dignity in the workplace.
