Reviews
In this book, Dr. Teresa Hill provides a deeper lens into the achievement gap that exists in our current American educational system. Combating the Achievement Gap also provides the reader with solutions and strategies and how to close the divide between affluent and poor children and children of color in American schools. -- Rick Aceves, M.Ed, Director of English Language Learning in Illinois public high school
With both urgency and understanding, Dr. Hill exposes failure as a default and then provides steps those who work with youth can take to end this ideology in schools. Readers will walk away inspired and empowered to make change on behalf of all children. -- Doretha Brown, Working on Womanhood Counselor at Youth Guidance
Combating the Achievement Gap clearly details the inherent problems and multiple solutions for eradicating the gap. I applaud Dr. Hill's ability and forethought to break down such a misunderstood topic, so that a novice or veteran teacher can comprehend. This book is a must for every educator, administrator, school board member, and policy maker. -- Tara Peacock, M.Ed, 8th Grade Social Studies at Parker Jr. High School
