WDMESC: Addressing Excellence Gaps in Arkansas: Promoting Advanced Achievement in the 21st Century
The economy and culture of the 21st century has a tremendous need for talent. Whether one works in manufacturing, government, education, or the service industry, there is always a shortage of talented people. A major cause of this shortage is the excellence gap -- the achievement gap at the high end of student learning. Evidence suggests excellence gaps are growing, yet research has also identified highly promising strategies for reversing this trend. In this session, we will briefly review recent research on the excellence gaps and their causes, followed by a detailed discussion of potential solutions. Throughout the day, we will examine brief case studies of school districts from around the country that are attempting to shrink and eliminate excellence gaps.
