 I'm a professor in the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies at UCLA, also the director of the Center for the Transformation of Schools. Today I talked about the huge challenge of inequality and how it affects education and impacts the health of children and what we can do to address it. We have lots of examples of schools that do manage to compensate for the effects of poverty on children and what we need to do is learn from those examples so we can create more schools that can meet the needs of children and break the cycle of poverty.
