Courageous Choices: Tackling the Tough Issues to Raise Student Achievement and Close Gaps

Printer-friendly version

Every year at the Education Trust’s national conference, we focus on one thing: closing the achievement gap that separates low-income students and students of color from other young Americans. In this year’s opening address, Education Trust President Kati Haycock will set the stage for our three days together by sharing the latest data on progress and highlighting strategies that work. She’ll also talk about what is getting in the way of serious action to confront—and eliminate—the opportunity gaps that hobble the futures of so many of our children, and summon us to action on those issues.

Speaker:
Kati Haycock, President, The Education Trust, Washington, DC
