About the Author: Darin M. Preston
Darin Preston currently is a school psychologist in the Fond du Lac, Wisconsin school district. Although Fond du Lac is a predominantly white community, the population of minority families is growing rapidly. The transition has not always been smooth as students, teachers, and community learn to adjust to the influx of new ideas and unfamiliar cultural expectations. Darin's work responsibilities for the school district have changed significantly from providing solely special education evaluations to his now becoming a more eclectic mix of advisor, counselor, and program supporter. As his school district moves to keep pace with the changing times and demographics, Darin sees his position as one to provide support to all within the system who are ready to move forward and embrace the future. |
