FORT HOOD, Texas - “Being able to coach a kid on their worst day is important,” Karen Mayton told the Fort Hood leaders and regional school administrators during the 2022 Education Summit at the Lone Star Conference Center here, April 5.
Mayton, who serves as the coordinator of testing and accountability for the superintendent and campus leadership of the Region 12 Education Service Center, served as one of the summit’s keynote speakers, focusing on building relationships, helping children and providing information on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness exams.
She said a lot of parents and schools focus on the STAAR testing and she encouraged them to remember that the children are being judged on a single test on a single day, without considering that not every day is going to be a good education day.
“How we’re doing today is great, but I want to know how we’ve done all the way up to today,” she said.
