• The 2007 Charles H. Thompson Lecture-Colloquium Presentation: Creating Schools Where Race Does Not Predict Achievement: The Role and Significance of Race in the Racial Achievement Gap

  1/1/08 - Noguera, Pedro A.

  A study investigated the ways in which race is implicated to deal with the achievement gap in U.S. schools. Based on the evaluation of theoretical and historical issues that have framed the association between race and intellectual ability, this analysis provided an explanation of why the effort to close the achievement gap was politically and socially significant. To demonstrate why some schools are making progress in closing the achievement gap while others are not, the efforts of two...

• The achievement gap between science classrooms and historic inequalities

  1/1/08 - Howie, Sarah, Scherman, Vanessa

  Part of a special issue based on the secondary analysis of data from the Trends in Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) focusing on gaps between subgroups. A study compared classroom conditions, teacher actions, and pupils' achievement in science for well-functioning and provisioned classrooms and not well-functioning and poorly provisioned classrooms in South Africa. The well-functioning and provisioned classrooms predominantly house White teachers and White or mixed classes in urban areas...

• The Achievement Gap: Issues of Competition, Class, and Race

  1/1/03 - Hunter, Richard C., Bartee, RoSusan

  The abolition of the achievement gap between racial majority and minority students will require more than the implementation of the principles proposed by the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001. Founded upon the market-based contextual framework of competition and choice in public education, standardized test scores, and the presumption of equal access and opportunity in schools and society, this act represents a flawed approach to the improvement of standards in public education...

• The black-white "achievement gap" as a perennial challenge of urban science education: a sociocultural and historical overview with implications for research and practice

  1/1/01 - Norman, Obed, Ault, Charles R., Jr., Bentz, Bonnie

  A perennial challenge for urban education in the United States is finding effective ways to address the academic achievement gap between African American and White students. There is widespread and justified concern about the persistence of the achievement gap. In fact, historical evidence suggests that this achievement gap has existed at various times for groups other than African Americans. What conditions prevailed when this achievement gap existed for these other groups? Conversely...

• The Black-White "achievement gap" as a perennial challenge of urban science education: A sociocultural and historical overview with implications for research and practice

  1/1/01 - Norman, Obed, Ault, Charles R., Jr., Bentz, Bonnie, Meskimen, Lloyd

  Explores the academic achievement gap between African American and White students in urban science classrooms. History shows that this gap existed for groups other than African Americans. The authors examine how historical and sociocultural factors in the manifestation and eventual disappearance of the gap for these groups may shed light on the present problem. The authors conclude that the sociocultural position of groups is crucial to understanding the scholastic performance of students...

• The contextual effects of socioeconomic status on student achievement test scores by race

  1/1/01 - Willie, Charles Vert

  A study examined the contextual impact of socioeconomic status on student achievement test scores by race. Data were obtained from black and white students in public elementary and middle schools in Charleston County, South Carolina, who performed above the national norm on the Metropolitan Achievement Test (MAT). Results revealed that, for both black and white students, the lowest proportion of students scoring above the national norm on the MAT was found in poverty-concentrated schools and...

  The Costs of Out-of-School-Time Programs: A Review of the Available Evidence

  1/18/09 - Christianne Lind, Nanette Relave , Sharon Deich, Jean Grossman, Andrew Gersick

  Commissioned by The Wallace Foundation and written in collaboration with The Finance Project, this report reviews a variety of studies conducted since 1993 in an attempt to gain a broad sense of what it costs to run out-of-school-time programs. Among the report's findings: There is a lack of up-to-date information about program costs; researchers and practitioners do not have a standard methodology for estimating costs; selected cost studies suggest wide variation across programsfrom $449 to...

• The credibility issue: Closing the academic/practitioner gap

  1/1/08 - Hughes, Tim, O'Regan, Nicholas, Wornham, David

  The literature is highly critical of the business-academia relationship and there is a lack of congruence between strategic management research conducted by academics and that used by practitioners. There is also a lack of models of collaborative research and its dissemination. This research aims to identify means by which the degree of academia versus business congruence can be enhanced in managing strategic change effectively. A critical realist approach was taken using semi-structured...

• The impact of the academic achievement gap on the African American family: A social inequality perspective

  1/1/07 - Leach, Monica T., Williams, Sheara A.

  The academic achievement gap impacts the African American family in various ways. It can influence how African American children experience school; and it has implications for their high school dropout and graduation rates, college attendance, and college completion rates. For parents, the academic achievement gap may influence their own socioeconomic status via their educational attainment, which then has direct implications for their children. The purpose of this article is to present a...

• The knowledge gap: Implications of leveling the playing field for low-income and middle-income children

  1/1/06 - Neuman, Susan B., Celano, Donna

  This study examines children's uses of reading resources in neighborhood public libraries that have been transformed to "level the playing field." Through foundation funding (US$20 million), the public library system of Philadelphia converted neighborhood branch libraries into a technologized modern urban library system, hoping to improve the lives of disadvantaged children and their families by closing the achievement gap. Using a mosaic of ethnographic methodologies, four studies examined...
