AFT Voices: Becoming a paraprofessional
Special education paraprofessional Jeff Whittle started supporting children with disabilities as a volunteer in junior high school. It’s a job he has loved for decades. But now he finds himself in a strange new era with a president of the United States who wants to slash education funding and even eliminate the Department of Education. We must fight back, Whittle writes in AFT Voices. With all the chaos going on in Washington, D.C., it’s more important than ever that we carry our work on behalf of children to Congress, the courts and the court of public opinion.
