Live from Sacramento - Achievement Gap


Download audio (MP3)

California's African-American and Latino students continue to score lower than their white and Asian counterparts on standardized tests. In a special live broadcast from our Sacramento studios, we look at new efforts to close this achievement gap.

Host: Michael Krasny

Guests:

  • Glenn Singleton, executive director of the Pacific Educational Group
  • Jack O'Connell, superintendent of public instruction for the State of California and organizer of the two-day Achievement Gap Summit being held this week at the Sacramento Convention Center
  • Jeannie Oakes, director of UCLA's Institute for Democracy, Education and Access
