Discovery Charter School Co-founder on Challenges and Success in Newark

Irene Hall, Co-founder & Co-leader of Discovery Charter School in Newark, discusses some of the many challenges she faces each day. For example, many of the children come in with very little background knowledge, having limited if any exposure to the world outside of Newark. One factor contributing to the school's success is family involvement. Discovery Charter School seeks to involve families as much as possible, through events like a trip to the museum. Another point of difference for the school is mixed grade classes, such as a reading class that includes grades four through eight.
