The Hexagon Tool from a Regional Perspective

Kathleen Ryan Jackson joins us again as guest host to interview Mark Helton, Math Consultant, and Laura Smith, Educational Consultant, with the Central Kentucky Educational Cooperative.  Their conversation goes into detail about how the regional agency supported the local school districts by utilizing the Hexagon Tool, what they learned from the process, and how they could improve services.
