• Training for staff on WASL alternatives
• Grant opportunities
Defining and AddressingThe Achievement Gap(s)
The Achievement Gap: Model A
100%
Continue on as we have. All students gain, but the gap remains.
Mainstream students(mostly white, middle class)
Minority and poor students
The Achievement Gap: Model B
100%
Focus the low achievers, maintain for the mainstream.Minority students gain, but most students do not.
Minority and poor students
Mainstream students
The Achievement Gap: Model C
100%
Focus on just the mainstream students.Those students gain, but minority and poor students do not.
Minority and poor students
Mainstream students
The Achievement Gap: Model D
100%
Mainstream students
Minority and poor students
Put all resources into minority students.Other students lose ground.
The Achievement Gap: Model E
100%
Mainstream students
Minority and poor students
Focus on all students with a special and intensive emphasis on minority students.All students gain.

GAP Data Definition
The gap refers to the observed achievement disparity on a number of educational measures between the performance of groups of students, especially groups defined by gender, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status.
By type of group
Gender, race/ethnicity, Spec. Ed, ESL, SES.
By outcome
Test scores (e.g., WASL, District Tests, ACT, SAT)
Other measures (e.g., grades, grad/dropout rates, discipline referrals, TV viewing, homework)

Strategies to Address the Gap among Student Groups
• Title I Program:– $10 million to support student achievement in reading
and math– Parent Involvement Associates at schools– Extra staff at schools
• Learning Assistance Program (LAP) at all comprehensive high schools– LAP funds used for Graduation Support Specialists– High Schools Read 180 Program
• Extended Learning Opportunities program to provide extra learning time for students
• “Mathletics” Program for Indian Education– Smart boards at sites with Native children

• Why we are choosing this strategy
• What it will look like
• Where we are now
• What we hope to achieve
