By: White | H.R. No. 242 |

||
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. |
