Thinking Big About How to Close the Gap
At TC's Fourth Annual Symposium on Educational Equity, a star-studded cast of researchers, educators and policymakers argued for nothing less than a full-scale attempt to combat poverty and its attendant ills. Michael A. Rebell, Executive Director of TC's Campaign for Educational Equity, which organized and hosted the symposium, argued that access for children and families to what he calls "comprehensive educational equity" -- in essence, a full range of services -- should be viewed as a moral, statutory and constitutional right.
Researchers Target Poverty as Key Barrier to Closing U.S. Education Gap
Researchers Target Poverty as Key Barrier to Closing U.S. Education Gap
To overcome its education achievement gap, America must institute a comprehensive program of educational and social services to address the broad effects of poverty on millions of the nation's schoolchildren. Such a program could be delivered to 1 million students from families whose incomes fall within 75 percent to 125 percent of the federal poverty line at an approximate cost of $15,000 per student. These and other findings will be presented at TC on November 17th and 18th at the College's fourth annual Symposium on Educational Equity.
PRAISE FOR "MOVING EVERY CHILD AHEAD"
Moving Every Child Ahead: From NCLB Hype to Meaningful Educational Opportunity by the Equity Campaign's Michael Rebell and Jessica Wolff is being called a "rare" contribution that "advances an intellectual and legal framework for how the federal role might actually be re-shaped."
