Description

The Achievement Gap among students of various races has been a national issue for well over a decade, creating a platform for discussion, interventions, program development, and research. This book looks at achievement through a gifted lens. Identified African American males classified as gifted, according to state adopted standards, who were in the same schools, in the same classes, with the same teachers as their white counterparts, were performing at lower levels.
