DESCRIPTION:The term “achievement gap” refers to the disparities in academic 
 achievement between different groups of students. Across the United States, 
 gaps in academic achievement persist between ethnic groups, socioeconomic 
 classes, and genders. These achievement gaps are one of the most pressing 
 education-policy challenges that schools currently face, and directly 
 affect the future of our nation. \n\nHow did these gaps originate, and how 
 can we bridge them? Our four panelists will discuss the history, causes, 
 and possible solutions for the racial achievement gap in California K-12 
 schools, with an emphasis on literacy and the language arts. \n\n\nFeatured 
 Panelists:\n\nCarrie Donovan – Director of BUILD (Berkeley United in 
 Literacy Development), UC Berkeley\n\nAndrew Dubin – Professor, Graduate 
 College of Education, San Francisco State University\n\nEmma Fuentes – 
 Professor, School of Education, University of San Francisco\n\nStephanie
