Nearly three dozen NYSUT SRP members participated in a four-day training session with the union’s Education and Learning Trust.
The topics, determined by SRPs, included working safely in schools, how to prevent illness and injuries when toileting students; addressing anti-LGBTQ bullying and harassment in schools; supporting students with autism; and promoting a positive school culture and climate.
Those who successfully complete the training can then provide workshops and seminars to their peers back in their districts.
