The Hangout with David Sciarretta #88 Hedy Chang, Founder and Executive Director of Attendance Works
Hedy Chang is the Founder and Executive Director of Attendance Works. A 1986 Thomas J. Watson Fellow, Hedy brings a wealth of knowledge and passion about the intricate tapestry of factors that influence why students may not make it to class. Her Chinese American background and family legacy of activism provide a rich context as we discuss her dedication to unraveling the complexities of chronic absenteeism—an issue that's foundational to achieving justice in our education system.
This is a re-release of a popular episode, one that is particularly timely as millions of children in the U.S. are back in school for the Fall semester.
