T.C. Roekle is a highly respected educator who has solid leadership experience with a focus on innovative strategies to raise student and staff performance at the building and district level.

ASCD has launched a new public engagement and advocacy campaign and we want you to be a part of it. WholeChildEducation.org is a Web site that calls on parents, educators, policymakers, and communities to join forces to ensure our children become productive, engaged citizens. I believe this is an opportunity for each of us to make a difference in how schools and communities work together to ensure each student has access to a challenging curriculum in a healthy and supportive climate.
You can visit their Web site to find out how well your school and community are doing with our Grade Your School and Community tool. You can also share what's working and what's not working in your school in our Share Your Story section. Find materials to share with your friends and neighbors in the Resource Clearinghouse. ASCD 's Policy Blackboard highlights policymakers who are speaking up for the whole child and fighting for change. But they need your help: as caring educators I believe it is important to Spread the Word about these efforts.
ASCD believes children deserve an education that emphasizes academic rigor as well as the essential 21st-century skills of critical thinking and creativity.
You may wish to pass this on to other colleagues or interested community members.
Ask Yourself:
Am I doing all I gan to educate the whole child in my classroom or school?
How can I do more?
