From developing a distinctive alphabet print format to make reading easier, to bringing faculty, parents, and community to bear on each school’s unique situation, Laura’s BCP team proves that public schools can and do work. Now, as schools struggle with the challenge of the Covid Crunch, and preparing for the post-Covid Catchup, Laura reveals what methods and mindsets will prove most effective.
