Website is electronic hub for statewide initiative targeting CA achievement gap

ClosingAchievementGap.org has been established as part of the statewide initiative led by Jack O'Connell, California State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and designed to identify ways the state can better assist counties, districts and schools in their efforts to help all children succeed academically and close the state's achievement gaps.

Aimed at supporting the work of policymakers, educators, and interested community members, the website is the electronic hub for helpful information, research, and success stories about efforts to close the gap in California.

The California Department of Education (CDE), its P-16 Council, and WestEd are partnering on this important initiative with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.

See how you can take part in the efforts via the website:

THINK Together is serious about helping kids achieve!

THINK Together is making a difference in the lives of more than 100,000 California students. The non-profit organization's trained staff, dedicated volunteers and generous donors are providing extended learning time programs (after-school, summer learning, small group tutoring, early literacy, etc.) and resources to help these kids, their families and their communities achieve. Our programs, generally free for at-risk students and low-income families, are predominately available at public school sites across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and now Sacramento Counties.
