ELP 683: Ed Reform, Account&Achieve Gap
Students will examine the role(s) that the goal of eliminating the minority achievement gap has had throughout the ages in eliciting change and reform in contemporary American Education. They will also critically reflect on whether the focus on the minority achievement gap is still useful or whether a new paradigm shift is needed or is taking place in American schools, particularly that of benchmarking ourselves against other countries performance on educational efficacy to maintain or improve our international competitiveness and strategic advantages.
