PRI’s Lance Izumi joins Newsday Amarillo to talk about his new book A Kite in a Hurricane No More, detailing school choice and alternative learning. Izumi explains the journey of Mia Giordano, who moved from a conventional public education model to the Arrowsmith Program, which incorporates the latest brain research into their educational practices. It identifies several specific learning dysfunctions and targets these cognitive weaknesses with an intervention plan featuring different exercises focusing on a process or a combination.
