knows
firsthand
about

and
inclusion.
She
is
on
the
front
line
of
America's
shifting
public
classroom.
At the crest of a short,
steep hill sits the Heard Street Discovery
Academy in Worcester, MA. Surrounded by homes,
it's a typical neighborhood school, where students
walk, bike, or ride the bus to class. With almost
300 students in kindergarten and grades one
through six, Heard Street is just the right size
where everyone knows everyone's name. Even
when walking through the main doors, visitors
immediately feel that this is a school where
children are nurtured and mentored. It's just that
kind of place.
