Throughout my career, I've seen first-hand the connection between social-emotional learning and academic achievement in students. When we design learning environments for students “on the margins” everyone is elevated academically, feelings of safety are increased, and relationships with students are deepened.
I support and will help further the work Kyrene is spearheading on ensuring that "All students achieve at their maximum potential to become the problem-solvers, creators, and visionaries of tomorrow. "
