In the latest Spotlight webcast, Linda Darling-Hammond, professor of education at Stanford University and founder of the School Redesign Network, discusses the impact of child poverty on educational achievement. Darling-Hammond, who led the education transition team for the Obama administration, also examines education as a civil rights issue and how to ensure quality education and college readiness for all children.
