Important Dates
Education Professionals Week is November 18 to 22
By: EMSB Communications
The theme of this year's Education Professionals' Week, November 18 to 22, is “Shining a Light on our Educational Universe”.
Professionals provide student assistance, pedagogical support and administrative services. They help build a generation of students who are well educated and well prepared for the future. Through their daily work, they make the school an organized, pleasant place to live and work. Education professionals have a positive impact on the school environment.
There are 10,000 professionals, members of the FPPE, who reach out in many small and large ways every day to students, teachers and principals in elementary, secondary, adult general and vocational education. Professionals include guidance counsellors, psychologists, pedagogical consultants, archivists, spiritual community animators and speech language pathologists. Every professional plays an essential role in school success. Let's recognize the invaluable work of public education professionals and say "thank you!"
