In these capacities, the project has supported hundreds of thousands of educators.
As the leader of this world-renowned organization, Lucy works closely with policymakers, superintendents, district leaders and school principals to instigate and sustain school-wide and system-wide educational reforms. But above all, Lucy works closely with teachers and with their classrooms full of wise and wonderful children.
