The purpose is to address why an achievement gap exists on standardized tests between white students and people of color & upper classes and working classes, and how the gap can be reduced in public high schools.
There are four parts to this e-zine, which include: research surrounding the testing debate, graphs and pictures, my synopsis and recommendation, and action steps that I have personally taken or suggest for student participation. Also a list of resources and an annotated bibliography are available.
