Webcast: Why Do Early Achievement Gains Slow Down in High School?
The Center on Education Policy (CEP) invites you to view a new video featuring Jack Jennings, CEP’s president and CEO, and Doug Elmer, director of Diplomas Now.
The video was produced by Spotlight on Poverty and Opportunity, the non-partisan website for news and research about poverty and opportunity in America. In this Spotlight webcast, Jennings and Elmer talk about new CEP data showing that progress on state tests in grades 4 and 8 often fades by high school and share ideas for reversing this troubling pattern.
Spotlight is funded by numerous foundations, including the Gates Foundation, Atlantic Philanthropies and the Annie E. Casey Foundation. It is directed by the Center for the Study of Law and Social Policy and Civic Enterprises, among others. Listen to the conversation here.
