Hello Blogger World! On my page, you will find a discussion on a critical issue that is currently taking over the education system of our nation ... The Achievement Gap. In my blog, I will focus on how the separation is effecting minority students and I would like to "xxpandyourmind" on some of the causes and effects of the problem. As a minority undergraduate student at a university located in the southeast region of our country, I feel especially interested in the issues concerning the achievement gap. So please, visit often and leave many comments! I would love to hear all of your ideas, opinions, and thoughts ;)

Can Minority Students Defy the Odds?



This video contains some factual information and a few of the stereotypes that minority students face in education. The success stories of these students prove that minorities have an inspiring chance to defy the odds, while simultaneously influencing their peers to also achieve the same goals and do well in school. With the right guidance and support, minority students have a fighting chance to close the current achievement gap and improve overall statistics.
