Forth Worth ISD Uses Kognito to Create Safer Schools

“Not only are we using funding to acquire and to adopt professional development, but we also use it to strengthen our curriculum,” Dr. Roina Baquera, Director, Health and Physical Education Department

In the fall of 2021, the Fort Worth ISD selected three of Kognito’s evidence-based products to train faculty and staff on bullying prevention for LQBTQ+ students, mental health awareness and trauma informed practices. As more people in the ISD community experienced the power of experiential learning and practice conversations surrounding challenging topics, interest piqued and the audience grew. So far the district has received positive feedback on these simulations.
