In New Haven, where the concept was pioneered a half-century ago, that has meant going bigger on a concept that was already rooted in the district.
As was evident when morning meeting got underway in Cepea “CJ” Burton’s third-grade classroom.

Nathan Russell: He’s walked in his students’ shoes.

He is the number-one ranked amateur fighter in his weight class in the Northeast.
