[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not try to elevate everyone by 10%? Every group will get better that way. I understand that it won't narrow the achievement gap, but why are we focusing on achievement gap to start with. Why not try to push the top group and the bottom group at the same time even if achievement gap remains the same? [/quote] Because it isn’t really an achievement gap so much as an opportunity gap. Lots of gifted and talented ES students of color are not being encouraged and mentored, or even informed of opportunities. That has not changed in the 16 years I’ve taught here or the twenty years I have had children of color enrolled in MCPS.[/quote]
