Need To Know | A Script for Success | PBS

Duration: 02:46
Program: Need to Know #140
Broadcast Date: Feb. 11, 2011

John Whitton, Paul Larino, and Maria Le Fort taught at Brockton High School for more than 30 years and are now retired. We interviewed them for our segment about the school's innovative literacy program. After the interview, we talked to them and Dr. Susan Szachowicz, the principal, to come up with a "script" that can be used by teachers at other schools looking to replicate Brockton's success.
