School Counselor Advocacy

Despite decades of reform efforts, the achievement gap persists in U.S. schools. In this publication, education, psychology and equity experts Wade Boykin and Pedro Noguera explain what can be done on the school and classroom level to close this gap once and for all. This book clarifies which factors lie at the heart of the problem, points to gap-closing strategies and the research that supports them, and celebrates schools and districts that are already closing gaps for their learners.
