Item Awareness To Action: Recognizing and Addressing the Achievement Gaps in Delaware Schools(Delaware Education Research & Development Center, 2002) Banicky, LisaThis report represents an attempt to create a common understanding of the challenge facing many of the schools in Delaware with respect to the achievement gap separating minority and low income student performance from that of other students. It contains a school-by-school description of achievement gaps in the areas of reading and mathematics as measured by the Delaware Student Testing Program (DSTP). The hope is that the information provided in this report will promote an active dialogue that translates into the dissemination of concrete strategies for closing existing gaps and increasing the academic performance of all students in Delaware schools.Item Beating the Odds: A Study of Delaware Schools(Delaware Education Research & Development Center, 2007-05) Buttram, Joan L.This study was designed to identify K-12 schools in Delaware that are beating the odds, that is, outperforming expectations given the composition of their student body, and to learn what actions they are taking to achieve their success. This first stage documents the identification process and the schools that were identified. It relied on cluster analyses of Delaware public and charter schools’ percentages of white students and students from low-income families.
