This year, social and emotional health emerged as one of the most important new focuses surrounding our students in DISD. With the new focus on Pre K recently, it’s clear that we are now moving toward thinking about and educating the whole child over time instead of just the student from year to year.
Kids aren’t machines. They are people that think, feel, learn, cry, laugh, and everything in between. A 10th grader that can’t read didn’t become that way in the summer after 9th grade, they never learned when they were where? PRE K.
The thanks for this goes several people, but I want to make sure I mention Alan Cohen. He has done a fantastic job since joining the district and I believe he is making huge strides in trying to improve how we educate our kids.
