Mission Statement

The mission of this site is to inform you about what the Achievement Gap
is, why we should be concerned, what causes the Gap, what will happen if
it continues to exist, and what we can do to close the gap.  Much of this
information is geared towards educators, as I myself am a teacher.  I
welcome input from parents, educators and community members alike.  My
vision is that through knowledge, collaboration and action, we can all work
together to close the gap.  – Epryl King

The No Child Left Behind Act has
brought to light a problem known as the
"Achievement Gap."  It refers to the gap
in achievement test scores between
white and disaggregated groups.  This
problem has been around for a while,
but now it has a name.



Only a collaborative effort
on the part of all stake holders
will bring about positive change
for everyone.



Learn more.
Make change.

Whether you are a parent, law maker,
community member, educator, or just
curious, learn more about the
Achievement Gap here.  All input is
welcomed as collaboration is the key to
unified change.
