To sum up… Demographics is not destiny: Many schools have employed data-driven driven initiatives that have dramatically reduced the size of their achievement gaps. Horizontal and vertical alignment of curriculum with standards is key to any successful efforts to close the achievement gap
Efforts to improve instruction and curriculum benefit all students, , but disproportionately benefit minority and low-income students.
