Closing the Achievement Gap in Atlanta--Blog Talk Radio
Posted on June 30, 2011
The persistent achievement gap between white/Asian students and black students continues to haunt schools across the country. The gap is persistent because schools can't close the gap on their own. Families and communities also play an important role in strategies for closing the achievement gap. In Atlanta, the W E B Du Bois Society is taking on the achievement gap one attitude at a time. Etienne LeGrand, the co-founder, joins our show to discuss the inspiration and sweat equity in closing the achievement gap in Atlanta. What is your community doing?
