Introducing FLAEYC Member: Lisa Diggs |
|
Lisa Diggs has 28 years of experience in the early education field. She currently serves as the Professional Development Specialist at the Early Learning Coalition of Brevard. Through her position, she enjoys working directly with early childhood educators and providing quality professional development. "My favorite part about what I do is helping teachers get better at their practice and ensuring they preform at their optimum best for their students."
Lisa joined FLAEYC to aid in the advocacy for teacher equity, especially early childhood educators, because too often their voice is not heard. "The biggest issue facing the ECE profession is teachers are not recognized and compensated correctly for all they do for our youngest learners." Just like in her favorite book, Harold and the Purple Crayon, Lisa is working to create a world of her own design where everyone in her profession has a voice.
We hope you will take a few moments to get to know Lisa a little better and connect with a FLAEYC member.

We need to be heard. Our profession, whether it is teaching, directing, coaching, family services, etc., is important. We have to celebrate and celebrate together our accomplishments and the tasks we do daily for the future of our communities and our children.
