[SBU Board] Teaching Bridge in the Seattle Schools

[Eric Sieg]

Observations were great and made lots of sense. I don't have tons to
contribute since I'm not involved in teaching, but one thing I thought was
really interesting was the junior award scheme they are using in the EBU to
track progression and give students goals. IIRC, participation and
engagement jumped significantly after they started using it. Link here:
