New achievement gap resource
Closing the achievement gap The state Department of Education unveiled an online Resource Kit chock-full of links to resources to help families, communities, and organizations to develop partnerships with schools to narrow the academic achievement gap. There's a lot of links to a lot of good information and studies, including Data: An Essential Tool, that includes links to reports about test data, enrollment, graduates, dropouts, course enrollments, and staffing. The Parent/Family section is also loaded with information about parent rights, handbooks for subjects, and real-life success stories highlighting how change can happen. “The success of our students is directly connected to the success of our state and national economy," said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O’Connell on Wednesday with the release of the site. "That’s why I urge businesses, faith-based organizations, parents, community groups, and others to get involved in their local schools." 0 comments from 0 users
