"Just a note to say thank you! I had my interview last night for the EdD program last night. I was so thankful to have gone through your leadership training last year and have had Marzano and the exercises we did last year with teachers to reference. So thank you so much for the time you and Step Up invest in future educational leadership! I should know by Monday if I am accepted." - Deb Rains

Serious and long-lasting effects of disaster on schoolchildren 
Children caught in natural or man-made disasters can suffer from trauma and bereavement far longer than adults realize, and this can affect not only how well they perform at school but also the trajectory of their lives, researchers have said.

Adults don’t always see how children react internally and expect them to bounce back quickly when routines are restarted, but the effects can linger years after the disaster.
