“About that Level Playing Field: Closing the Opportunity, Information, and Achievement Gaps”

Printer-friendly version

School counselors are powerful allies in delivering strategies to close the achievement gap. We can help provide every student equitable access to a level playing field. This presentation describes practical ways school counselors are doing this work. Results will be presented from school counseling programs that use data-based accountability systems to influence course-enrollment patterns and other measurable ways to close the achievement gap.
