 Donuts & Discussion!
Topic: Should We Keep Using the Term "Achievement Gap"?
TODAY at 4:15pm* in Collis
*you know you're going to need a donut after your 2A

The achievement gap refers to the observed, persistent disparity of educational measures between the performance of groups of students, especially groups defined by socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity and gender. Do you think this term accurately describes the problem of inequality in education? What about "opportunity gap" and "wealth gap"?

Donuts & Discussion is a great program that facilitates informal productive dialogue.The purpose of Donuts and Discussion is to listen and learn from each other. It is not about solving a problem or deciding who is right.

Come for the thought-provoking dialogue, stay for the delicious donuts (or possibly the other way around?)!

See you soon!?
