WHEREAS, Educational diagnosticians play a vital role in |
|
|
improving the educational opportunities and outcomes of the |
|
|
students of Texas; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A type of special education teacher, educational |
|
|
diagnosticians assess, diagnose, and provide carefully designed |
|
|
instruction to children with learning disabilities; uniquely |
|
|
trained in their area of expertise, these gifted professionals use |
|
|
academic and psychological tests to isolate key factors that could |
|
|
enhance each student's performance in the classroom, enabling |
|
|
schools to better serve the educational needs of children and |
|
|
youth; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, By conducting materials research and developing and |
|
|
recommending teaching strategies, educational diagnosticians help |
|
|
provide the next generation of Texans with the basic skills |
|
|
necessary for lifelong learning and excellence; for the past year, |
|
|
educators in Texas have had to respond to the unusual challenges |
|
|
that the COVID-19 pandemic has posed to schools and teachers, and |
|
|
during this difficult time, the efforts of educational |
|
|
diagnosticians have remained crucial to the success of some of our |
|
|
most vulnerable schoolchildren; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, At every stage of education, the work of educational |
|
|
diagnosticians has greatly benefited the students under their care |
|
|
and earned them the respect and admiration of their fellow |
|
|
educators, and they may indeed take great pride in the important |
|
|
part they play in ensuring a brighter future for all young Texans; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize March 1 through 5, 2021, as |
|
|
Educational Diagnosticians Week in Texas and encourage residents of |
|
|
the Lone Star State to pay tribute to these invaluable |
|
|
professionals. |
