Laura Puts Our Students First

[Mary Vogas]

Laura Ewing would bring balance to the SBOE. She will help provide a solid education and bright future for all students in Texas. Laura has been a teacher for over 30 years. She has taught in Houston, Fort Bend, Clear Creek, Spring and Cypress-Fairbanks school districts. She also was a social studies specialist in Pearland ISD. She has been named "Teacher of the Year," "Supervisor of the Year," and has received the "Award for Excellence in the Teaching of Private Enterprise.” Laura also has a Masters in Educational Leadership and Cultural Studies from the University of Houston and is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Houston at Clear Lake. In addition, she was elected to the Friendswood City Council from 2003 where she served until 2008.

Laura believes that comprehension needs to be part of the English curriculum and that critical thinking is vital for our students. Laura would like to see a greater variety of credit courses for graduation in order to meet the needs of the different learning abilities of the population. She also believes that non-English speaking students should be offered English classes as they are studying their required classes. She also believes that non-college bound students need to be able to select classes that will help them become prepared to enter the work force when they graduate.
Laura Ewing is the hope for District 7 and for the state. She has always put education first and will continue to do that on the SBOE!
