ConnCAN Success Stories

Mary Hooker School, Hartford, CT, produced by Rabbit Ears Media

Hartford's Mary Hooker School in the Behind The Rocks Neighborhood was honored with the ranking "#1 in Middle School Performance Gains" and "#2 in Middle School Improvement" according to the research of ConnCAN. This video is one of 15 highlighting successful schools in Connecticut, as evaluated by the organization Connecticut Coalition for Achievement Now (ConnCAN). I was fortunate enough to work with them to produce the videos, and was able to learn quite a bit regarding the various education systems in Connecticut and the huge achievement gap.
