Beat: Connecticut's education gap, and ways to close it

Position:

Stasticially, Connecticut schools are among the best in the country, driven by public schools in wealthy towns. But the state's urban schools are on the bottom end in achievement. This multimedia journalist reports daily and enterprise stories about the achievement gaps and attempts to close them. This beat also covers higher education. Being bilingual is a plus, though not required.
