Closing the Achievement Gap
Yet, an achievement gap exists between our white students and students of color, as well as gaps with our English learners, poor students, and students with disabilities.
In California, the achievement gap represents a majority of students.
Closing the gap will improve the lives and futures of our students and secure the future for our state.

“Sadly, too many people view (California’s) diversity as a big problem. I don't. Instead, I say: Imagine! Imagine the potential of that diversity in today's - and tomorrow's - global economy. If we educate these students, well, our state would not only be able to compete more effectively, but it would be able lead our nation and the world economically. "
JACK O’CONNELLState Superintendent of Public Instruction

The Gap and the Global Economy
• The population of students growing the fastest is lagging the farthest behind.
• According to a study by Eric Hanushek of the Hoover Institute, the cost in lost U.S. economic output due to the nation’s achievement gap was a staggering $2.5 trillion between 1990 and 2002 — enough to pay the entire cost of K-12 education in the nation over that time.
• Researchers tell us that closing that gap over a 12-year period would add $980 billion to the annual gross domestic product.

Achievement Gap: A Moral and Economic Crisis
• Fewer well-paid, low skilled jobs
• Global economy demands problem solvers, innovators, higher-level thinkers, strong communication skills
• Our students today must compete against students from all over the world

Focusing our Attention on Closing the Achievement Gap
• The goal of closing the achievement gap demands a kind of focused desire. It calls for a willingness to change, to be bold, and to try new ideas.
• The time has come for us to answer this call. Together we can close the achievement gap and open the door to a better future for every student, without exception.
