Description
The education system can change top-down, or bottom-up. Author Suzanne DeMallie wrote Can You Hear Me Now?, a book about how parents and teachers might change our schools from the bottom-up. She draws on her own experiences in Baltimore County Public Schools (BCPS) as an elementary math teacher from 2011 to 2019, a parent of children in BCPS, and an advocate for sound enhancement technology in classrooms across the country. She also talks about how COVID has affected her opinions on standardized testing, 1-to-1 device policies for elementary schools, and more.
