Going After Mindset
Our Effort to Address the Expectations Gap
For an organization that is one-third Hartford parent in staff demographics, you might think it would be easy for us to "keep it real" and talk openly about mindsets that prolong an expectations gap in Hartford. Well, it's not easy ... but our best effort begins with the launch of a trifecta Kindergarten Prep campaign next week: one part communications, one part parent workshops, and one part referring parents to great resources.
