Texas Governor Greg Abbott has proclaimed the week of March 7-11, 2016 Educational Diagnosticians Week in Texas.
In his proclamation, Gov. Abbott said, “A rigorous and well-rounded education places young Texans firmly on the path to success. For some children, learning new things and succeeding in their classes is a smooth process. For others, additional or specialized instruction is necessary for maximum success. When this happens, educational diagnosticians play a vital role. Through specialized training, educational diagnosticians use academic and psychological tests to isolate factors that could enhance students’ performance in the classroom. By developing and recommending teaching strategies and materials, these professionals help provide our next generation of leaders with the knowledge and skills fundamental for lifelong excellence.”
The Titus County Shared Services Educational Diagnosticians serving the students of MPISD are Karen Bartlett, Lisa Cota, Sandra Davis, Heather Gage, Kristin Holman, Shelly Knight, and Jennifer Williams.
“Mt. Pleasant ISD really appreciates the work that these educational diagnosticians do with and for our students,” said MPISD Superintendent of Schools Judd Marshall. “They help us achieve our goal of educating all of the students who come to us.”
