Dallas ISD ha invertido fondos federales para acelerar el aprendizaje y compensar las interrupciones causadas por COVID-19. También ha invertido en programas extracurriculares que brindan a los estudiantes un lugar seguro para explorar sus intereses, ya que la participación en artes visuales y escénicas, servicio y liderazgo, atletismo, actividades académicas y otras actividades pueden acelerar su éxito general y su bienestar social y emocional.

More than 3,100 students participated in these programs. The allocation continues this…

La maestra de primer grado Katie Holt y la coordinadora de instrucción Natalie Cruz-Garcia de Biomedical Preparatory en UT Southwestern no tenían idea de que se convertirían en amigas y compañeras de trabajo tan cercanas, cuando hace nueve años, en el 2014, formaban parte del programa Teach for America y fueron asignadas al Distrito Escolar Independiente de Dallas. “Recuerdo haber organizado nuestros salones de clase al mismo tiempo durante nuestro primer año”, dijo Holt. “Estábamos constantemente entrando y saliendo de nuestros salones de clase, planeando cómo crear nuestros primeros tableros de anuncios y organizar la distribución de asientos de los…
First-grade teacher Katie Holt and instructional coordinator Natalie Cruz-Garcia of the Biomedical Preparatory at UT Southwestern had no idea that they would become such close friends and co-workers nine years ago when they were 2014 corps members in Teach for America and were placed in Dallas ISD. “I have a core memory of setting up our classrooms at the same time our very first year,” Holt said. “We were constantly going in and out of each other’s rooms, planning how we were going to make our first bulletin boards and organize seating arrangements. Details that now we don’t think twice…

For Eric Benson, transforming student lives has had different meanings over his 38 years as a physical education teacher at Bishop Arts Steam Academy. Several of his former students are now leading life-changing careers of their own, including Diana Nunez, a proud Dallas ISD graduate who has spent over two decades working as a teacher, principal and executive director in the district. “We knew early on that Diana was going to be something special, just like everyone else in her family,” Benson said. “I’m so happy for her and all of her siblings, the direction that they’ve gone and all…
