Achievement Gap-Let's Reduce It!
As educators we try to determine and understand the differences between a child’s potential and how to increase his/her actual achievement. We have been meeting as an At-risk Committee to do just that. This Wednesday we will be looking at those students who have failed multiple classes, failed STAAR, have attendance issues, are in loss of credit, and have more than three ISS assignments. As we identify the students who may need our attention, we will do our best to identify strategies that may help them bridge a gap that has prevented them from being successful.
