Research Action: Why the Achievement Gap?

A team of leaders from Portland, Spokane and the Puget Sound have been working over the summer to educate themselves about the factors impacting educational outcomes for all children.  They have been conducting research visits and reading  a selection of articles to better understand those factors and what other IAF affiliated organizations from across the country have done to address problems in this area.  The team will be making recommendations to the Northwest IAF affiliates in late August.
