The Opportunity Equation
How citizen teachers are combating the achievement gap in America’s schools
As debates about education rage on, and wealth based achievement gaps grow, too many people fix the blame on one of two convenient scapegoats: poverty or our public schools.

In The Opportunity Equation, Schwarz tells the story of how he founded the pioneering Citizen Schools program to combat rising inequality by bringing these same opportunities to children who do not have access to them.
