As you'll hear in today's episode, our guest, Dr. Mark Martin, shares that dreaming big and thinking outside the box have a tremendous impact on students.

Listen as he discusses with Dr. Janet Pilcher a program he's launched called Close the Gap Kentucky and how it's helping other school districts succeed.
