Special Education Teachers: Stand Strong, Stand Together
Every day, we go above and beyond for our students—but who’s fighting for us?
The Association of Clovis Educators is fighting for you and your students.
As special education teachers, we face high caseloads, paperwork overload, and limited support. ACE can help us win smaller class sizes, more prep time, and crucial staffing—all of which directly improve student outcomes.
Better Working Conditions for Us = Better Learning Conditions for our Students
When we advocate for ourselves and each other, we’re also advocating for our students. Union wins mean more inclusive classrooms, better training, and stronger legal protections for IEP services.
When we organize together, we can demand realistic expectations for IEP documentation, adequate time for parent meetings, and fair evaluation systems that account for the complexities of our work. These aren’t luxuries – they are essential for us to deliver quality and effective education.
We’re Stronger Together
We as special education teachers are often isolated—spread thin across buildings, departments, grade levels and sites. Our union is where we come together, share our experiences, and build power. It’s where we turn individual frustration into collective action.
If you’ve ever felt burned out, unsupported, or worried about whether your students are truly getting what they need, then standing with your union is the next step. We’re stronger together—and our students are depending on us.
Alone, we’re overwhelmed. Together, we’re powerful. Join ACE in pushing for the respect, resources, and conditions that every special educator—and every student—deserves.
Because our students can’t wait. And neither can we.
