Value Adds Value!

Rebekah Ozuna is a Pre-K teacher in San Antonio, Texas, who has an incredible passion for social and emotional learning. During our conversation with Rebekah she discussed how some students are not sheltered at home and they come to us in a very raw state. Rebekah beautifully lays out how we must first provide for the social and emotional needs of our students before we can address their academic needs. Rebekah says that even in the Pre-K setting how we model appropriate social and emotional skills goes a long way in teaching our students how to handle those situations. Rebekah is the head of the Aspen Institute's Commission on Social, Emotional, and Academic Development where they are working to understand the needs of our students on all levels and she brings that experience to this powerful conversation. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
