EDUC 587 Closing the Achievement Gap

3 Credits

The course is designed to help teachers, administrators, and support staffs eliminate the achievement gap. The goal of the course is to present a comprehensive K-12 model that ensures racial and social differences in academic achievement are eliminated. The program will focus on the academic, social and emotional learning skills that improve achievement for all students. Our primary philosophy is respect, responsibility and relationships that are essential for academics to be relevant to all learners. Until we address the relevance of academics to all learners we can never be successful with academic rigor.
