[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm starting to agree with this article that says fixing education isn't the answer. Solving poverty is.

Yup no school district has closed the achievement gap none

At the same time there are lessons to be learned.  What are KIPP, DC Prep, and schools like Ketcham ES doing.

There are plenty of lessons to be learned

At the same time, to close achievement gaps in DC even faster and at more schools, these educators have several requests of officials who oversee schools and determine priorities and budgets:

More funding to hire additional staff, including social workers, interventionists, and instructional coaches; 
A three-year plan to meet the adequate funding rate and organize a task force to generate a comprehensive plan to recruit, train, and support the additional staff schools need;
More collaboration time for teachers and leaders, and more cross-school collaboration focused on continuous improvement and challenges such as middle school readiness, growth for students with disabilities, and pre-kindergarten instructional support; and
A citywide student, family, and teacher survey to attain better data around key indicators of excellent trauma-informed brain science practices in schools. Train schools and teachers on brain science and these effective practices.[/quote]
