Closing Achievement Gaps: The Next Phase in Improving CA’s Public Schools (2005)
California Business for Education Excellence released “Closing Achievement Gaps at All Grade Levels; The Next Phase in Improving California’s Public Schools.” This plan provides a comprehensive set of public education reforms designed to take the necessary next steps to close achievement gaps in our public schools. Independently and combined, these recommendations will help raise expectations and achievement, encourage innovation and choice, and create a more robust accountability system that rewards good schools and identifies those schools that are failing.
