August 17th GWP Workshop
| We were pleased to have Pat Cooper, EdD, former Superintendent of the McComb School District in Mississippi, as the keynote speaker for this workshop. Dr. Cooper's work in Mississippi resulted in documented gains in student attendance, test scores and teacher productivity as well as reducing dropout, suspension and expulsion rates. Dr. Cooper's message about increasing student's academic performance by creating an environment where children are healthy and ready to learn was timely and inspiring, as well as consistent with the approach of the Generation With Promise project.
"We must work together to take action for children's nutrition, fitness and overall health, to create healthy, safe, supportive schools where teachers can teach and children can learn."
~Pat Cooper, EdD
