Japanese teachers coming to D.C.

Two dozen Japanese teachers from a government-sponsored teaching program are visiting D.C.’s Clark Elementary School today to learn about a thriving behavior-modification program that leaders say has enhanced student performance.

Clark Principal Brearn Wright Jr., who is in his second year at the helm of the Northwest D.C. school, told The Examiner he was honored to hear that the international educators wanted to observe classrooms in his school.
