Elaine Weiss, Ph.D., is the National Coordinator for the Broader Bolder Approach to Education (BBA). Last year the Washington Post published an article that revealed that an analysis of 2013 Federal Data revealed that for the first time in over 50 years the majority of U.S. public school students came from low-income families. What is being done to help out these students? How is the poverty at home affecting students’ abilities to succeed in school? These are tough questions and they are being asked and addressed by The Broader, Bolder Approach to Education national campaign. Dr. Elaine Weiss discuss these questions and explains the goals of the BBA campaign.
