Despite decades of reform, student achievement remains stubbornly connected to a student’s background and zip code. Lacey Robinson's upcoming book, GLEAM®: Teaching at the Level Every Student Deserves, introduces a transformative framework for addressing this crisis. Drawing on her experience as a teacher, a principal, and CEO of UnboundEd and CORE Learning, Lacey presents the GLEAM hypothesis: only when teachers’ mindset and planning are purposefully put into the service of grade-level, engaging, affirming, and meaningful instruction, do we see teacher actions change and students thrive.
