| A little help from SRP friends June 2, 2004 Six years ago, NYSUT's Education and Learning Trust started offering its Professional Development Program for School-Related Professionals in the north country. Courses are still going strong, and so is solidarity. SRP members from various isolated districts get a chance to improve their skills on the job and network. When one of their own, Cathy O'Brien of the Lake George TA, had a son stationed overseas, the group decided to help. Besides bringing in enough items for several care packages, members collected money for phone cards and disposable cameras. "We all live that saying 'many hands make light work' on our jobs every day, and this was a case where we could use it to help out a colleague," says Sandie Carner-Shafran, a member of the Saratoga-Adirondack BOCES Employees Association, the NYSUT Board of Directors and a trainer with ELT's program. Below, Carner-Shafran is pictured at far right with members taking the Classroom Partners course this spring. |
