'Beginning with a remarkably comprehensive and accessible analysis
of the gap's causes, the book offers a refreshingly balanced,
evidence-based, state-of-the-art outline of productive solutions
that should inform the work of all educational stakeholders' - Ken
Leithwood, Professor, OISE/University of Toronto 'No one is better
positioned than Joseph Murphy to provide lessons for education
leaders on this important topic' - Andrew Porter, George and Diane
Weiss Professor of Education , University of Pennsylvania 'For too
long, the achievement gap has been proclaimed, discussed, and then
dismissed as a subject of despair. Seldom has it been
systematically defined, placed in historical perspective, or
positively addressed. Through thorough scholarship, comprehensive
knowledge, and creativity, this book fills that void' - James W.
Guthrie, Patricia and Rodes Hart Professor of Educational
Leadership and Public Policy, Vanderbilt University 'While offering
no simple pathway to progress, this book reminds us how much more
we can do to close achievement gaps' - Michael S. Knapp, Director
Center for the Study of Teaching & Policy, University of
Washington Distinguished researcher Joseph F. Murphy has gathered
and analyzed the most up-to-date research and data to help
headteachers understand what the achievement gap is, why it
persists, and what teachers can do about it. This comprehensive
handbook: - Examines external factors that contribute to
achievement gaps, such as socioeconomic status, family environment,
racism, and individual differences - Covers internal factors such
as instruction, school culture, and school support - Provides
strategies for addressing both internal and external factors to
make an impact.
