Episode 13: Larkin Temme on the Covid-19 achievement gap

Larkin Temme is the young principal of Holy Family Bilingual School in Whitecenter - just 10 miles south of Seattle.  We are separated by a short stretch of I-5, and a long stretch of socioeconomic circumstances.  The students at Holy Family are diverse, bilingual, and from backgrounds very different than the kids in NE Seattle.  I wanted to Ms. Temme educate me about how she’s pivoted her community to digital learning with no full-time Technology staff, how that was possible knowing that so many families don’t have basic internet access, and whether or not she’s concerned about this achievement gap created by internet based learning.  Spoiler alert - she is.
