Closing the Gap - Meeting the Achievement Challenge in California
spacer spacer
Closing the Gap is a series of television broadcasts highlighting the remarkable success of six California public schools in their quest to improve the achievement of students typically left behind. Although the achievement gap is often defined along racial, ethnic, language and income lines, these schools demonstrate that demographics need not determine a school’s destiny. Join us as we explore the difference six schools are making in the lives of students.

Watch the broadcasts to hear about each school’s journey towards improved student achievement.

Call, fax, or email questions during the broadcast to interact with renowned researchers and the school administrators.

Join discussions on this Web site to further your learning after the broadcast.
