"Author Robert Fulghum famously wrote
“All I really need to know I learned in kindergarten.”
But the pandemic meant that many students missed that pivotal school year or experienced a more disrupted version. And now, 1st grade teachers will have to fill in the gaps."
Dr. Housman was pleased to be a part of a distinguished group of educators, parents and researchers asked to advise on this important EdWeek article by Madeline Will on the road ahead after this year for first grade teachers who will need to instill foundational skills for children who may have missed their kindergarten experience.

At Housman Institute, we believe our role is to nurture the social, emotional, and cognitive well-being of all students and educators without bias. It is critical that every child feel recognized and validated from their earliest days—to understand that their voice matters, regardless of background or experience and is being heard. We listen to, respect and support the needs of our educators as we recognize their critical role in a child's emotional growth and development. Together we need to begin the important work to help all our children and educators, as we move toward a more equitable environment for early learning, setting the stage for the building blocks of empathy and conflict resolution, and a more equitable future for us all.
