Happy 50!! This episode is no. 50 for Lewis and Broad!
This week our special guest is Tabitha Lewis-Coverson with Communities In Schools. Communities In Schools, "... is a national organization that ensures every student, regardless of race, gender, ability, zip code, or socioeconomic background, has what they need to realize their full potential in school and beyond. Communities In Schools works by bringing community resources directly into schools through embedding a trained local coordinator whose sole focus is helping connect students with additional supports to help them learn, advance in grade level and graduate." On this week's episode, Tabitha shares the hands-on work both she and her Site Coordinators do to help students succeed, challenges that students face every day, and statistics of current trends regarding students and graduation.
