Influencing Factors and Potential Solutions for Closing the Achievement Gap in Schools
Crepeele, Chantalle
BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, v14 n1 p27-30 2022
The widening achievement gap is a rising concern in schools that requires prompt attention. It is a result of differing opportunities and resources available to families and students. Present day factors, such as COVID-19 and varying instructional strategies, contribute to learning gaps. Socio-economic diversity, a global pandemic, and instructional strategies contribute to the widening expanse of achievement levels among learners. Potential solutions exist for educational staff, from classroom teachers who deal with students first-hand, to administrators and divisional staff responsible for funding. It is crucial that educational leaders are reminded of the severity of this issue in order to support classroom teachers in differentiating for many abilities, and ultimately for all students to experience success at their grade level.
