The way a school day is structured can shape more than a student’s schedule. It can influence how they learn, engage, and experience school. That’s where Dr. Tammy Hughes’ expertise comes in.

“Later start times also are defined as a form of block scheduling, which has crucial benefits for students, including improving mood, lowering obesity, increasing attendance and resulting in fewer disciplinary referrals.”
Through her expertise, Dr. Hughes continues to help educators, students, and communities think differently about what students need to succeed and how meaningful changes within schools can make a profound impact.
