Despite the many articles, blogs, books, podcasts, and webinars that focus on “closing the achievement gap,” the progress made in ensuring equity in educational outcomes has been slow and, in some instances, non-existent. This is not because teachers, schools, and districts are not working to increase achievement for students. This is not due to a lack of effort or caring.

Closing the Learning Gaps is designed to speed up learning for all students to grade level and beyond by focusing collaborative team actions in a PLC at Work® and teacher instructional practices in the classroom. This institute is led by renowned authors, thought leaders, and practitioners with proven track records of results in closing the achievement gap.
