In football, we often hear about the performance of the offense and the defense, but there is another unit of players that spends less than 20% of the game on the field, but scores roughly 35% of the team’s total points. The special teams unit made up of kickers, punts, returners, and defenders is often forgotten, but can have an enormous impact on the game itself. The Special Education Department is the school system’s special teams unit that places students in a better academic, emotional, and behavior field position in order to achieve overall success. Join Dr. Tracey Burrell along with Dr. Cassandra Williams, Assistant Professor of Special Education, LSU Shreveport, Shawne Marsala, Supervisor of Pupil Appraisal, Bossier Schools, and Ross Boyett, Assistant Principal, Waskom Middle School Wednesday, August 23, 2023 at 6 PM for Teach, Reach, Inspire.
