| We Judged How Much Fun We Had!! |
Sherrie Raven was the first person we interviewed she works on ‘‘SEL’’ (social emotional learning). SEL is important so kids could learn how to communicate with each other. She is preparing for a panel discussion at SXSWedu called “Moving Beyond the "id" in Kid: Why Teaching Social Emotional Learning Will Change the World.” Dr. Carstarphen is going to be on the panel.
Cesar Gutierrez makes sure the teachers have the right supplies to teach students science. Which is important because our education depends on our teachers having the right supplies. Mr. Goodman works on fine arts like band and orchestra. Asha Dane’el works on programs to help kids and parents, so that their children have after school programs so they can interact with children.
“I thought it was Amazing”! That there are 123 schools in the AISD school district including elementary, middle school and high school. That’s about 86,000 kids and at least a third of the of 86,000 kids ride the bus.
Adriana Solis and Betty Rodriguez work in Customer Service in the Superintedent's office. They say the hardest thing they deal with in their career is the time limit they have on assignments. Rosa Palacios helps with Board meetings. Toni Baker helps schedule the superintendent's meetings.

We met with Dr. Carstarphen and we asked what was the most fustrating part about her career, and she responded that she doesn't like when people lose sight of the focus on kids!
