Creating the Opportunity to Learn - Moving from Research to Practice to Close the Achievement Gap

After years of applying more pressure on schools to raise achievement levels for all students, particularly those who underperform their mainstream peers, the achievement gap today remains virtually unchanged. Two giants in the fields of education, psychology, and equity-A. Wade Boykin and Pedro Noguera-draw from the evidence from successful schools to provide a framework for addressing the key actions that need to be replicated in schools everywhere, such as:
Promoting and enhancing student engagement in learning and addressing avoidance behaviors.
Raising the levels of three key personal behaviors: self-efficacy, self-regulated learning, and incremental ability beliefs about intelligence.
Cultivating constructive classroom dynamics and transactions such as positive teacher student relationships and collaborative learning.
