Contact Jeff McGillivray at jeffm@ua290.org Oregon honors first Education Support Professional of the Year, Paula Steinweg Paula Steinweg, a member of the Oregon School Employees Asso- ciation (OSEA) Chapter 145 in Jewell, Oregon, has been named Oregon’s “Education Support Professional of the Year.” She is the first recipient of the new award, the result of an OSEA- backed bill passed by the Oregon Legislature in 2019. As the recipient of the award, Steinweg will receive $5,000 and an award plaque. A matching plaque and banner were pre- sented to the school to mark her achievements and impact on the community. For over 20 years, Steinweg has served in a variety of roles at Jewell School District, including as a bus driver, education assis- tant and school librarian. Steinweg initiated and coordi- nates a bi-annual trip to Washing- ton, D.C., for middle school stu- dents. She facilitates every detail of the trip from curriculum and travel plans to fundraising, ensur- ing all students have the opportu- nity to experience culture and his- tory beyond the Jewell com- munity. Last spring, as the Jewell School District responded to the COVID-19 pandemic, Steinweg stepped in to deliver food and school work packets to students at home. At every stop, she checked in with the family and student, asking about their emo- tional, academic and logistical needs. Families came to depend on her visits. “What an exciting and incred- ible honor to have our state rec- ognize—for the first time ever— the hard work and commitment of an OSEA member,” said OSEA President Lisa Gourley. “Paula Steinweg is a rock star! I’m humbled by her dedication and commitment to her students and community. She has created a life exemplary of this honor.” Oregon’s Education Support Professional of the Year Program was passed by the Oregon Legis- lature in May 2019. The bill di- rects the Oregon Department of Education and Oregon State Lot- tery to design and implement the program to honor an Oregon ed- ucation support professional (ESP) serving students in any grade from pre-kindergarten through grade 12. ESPs work with teachers and administrators to perform a vari- ety of jobs promoting quality ed- ucation, fostering positive learn- ing environments, offering nutritious meals, providing reli- able transportation, maintaining safe and clean schools for all stu- dents, and much more. Eligible nominees for the 2021 award were evaluated through a Blue Ribbon Panel facilitated by Oregon Department of Eduction. Nominations for 2022 are open now through early Janu- ary. To nominate an outstanding education support worker, go to oregonteacheroftheyear.org/ nominate-esp. The 2022 winner will be announced via a surprise event in the Spring of 2022.
