Bridge the gap in opportunity to overcome the gap in achievement!
Although out-of-school factors that limit student success may seem like obstacles too big to address, this guidebook provides the necessary direction to bridge the opportunity gap and close the achievement gap. Step-by-step instructions on how to conduct a community equity audit, along with detailed case studies, activities, and discussion questions give readers the power to assess opportunity gaps and eliminate them. A community equity audit asks questions such as:
• Do the children in my community have the same opportunity as children in other communities?
• Does my community have the same resources as other communities?
• If my community needs more resources how can we provide them?
