STRATEGIES FOR CLOSING ACHIEVEMENT GAPS

A new guide from the National Education Association provides a multi-themed
approach to closing the achievement gaps - focusing on Culture, Abilities,
Resilience, and Effort (C.A.R.E.). The guide helps educators reflect on the
causes of disparity in student achievement and explore ways to improve
academic success by using innovative, research-based instructional
strategies. By focusing on the themes of cultural, economic and language
differences, unrecognized and undeveloped abilities, the power of
resilience, and the importance of effort and motivation, "C.A.R.E.:
Strategies for Closing the Achievement Gaps" advances the idea that if
educators view these qualities of students as strengths, rather than
deficits, they can be successful in closing achievement gaps.
