America’s Promise Awards

I was really honored and humbled to get a journalism award last night from America’s Promise Alliance for the work we’ve been doing at TIME, and grateful to my editors there for their support and guidance – they’re a big part of what makes the column work.  Be sure to check out the other honorees – Casey Medal Winners – some really amazing work from around the country looking at issues affecting children and families and either directly or indirectly bearing on schools.  In particular some impactful work on homelessness policy from Kansas City and first person accounts from young people on Minnesota Public Radio but many spectacular stories across several mediums.
