Maryland tops in progress to close the achievement gap
The Washington Examiner reported this week that Maryland is leading the nation in closing the academic achievement gap for low income students. This a is a significant step in ensuring that all students in the state are receiving the best possible education in our schools.
Undoubtedly, there is still more work to be done around the state and here in Montgomery County. That is why MCEA has been working with various partners on our Social Justice Series of seminars and professional development, as well as our Equity Certificate program with McDaniel College. For more information on these programs, visit http://www.mceanea.org/teaching/equity.php and http://www.mceanea.org/teaching/hcr.php.
