Accountability for Greater Student Learning preview.video.1

http://www.schoolimprovement.com. Educational leadership often means greater student learning. Every student, regardless of race or socioeconomic status, has the right to an education that encourages and allows him or her to achieve at high levels. Sadly, disturbing discrepancies exist between the academic achievement of white students and students of color, and between students of varying economic status. The reasons for achievement gaps are found within schools and districts and include problems like misunderstanding race, lowered expectations, and a curriculum that does not speak to minority experiences. Current federal laws mandate that gaps must be closed, but many schools and districts are unsure what to do and even doubt that eliminating gaps is possible.
