Achievement Gap:

High Stakes Testing: usually standardized tests, which put pressure on students and teachers for high achievement. If the school doesn’t meet the “standards” they may lose funding. Plays into Stanovichs “Matthew Effect.”
School Reform: any changes in a schools curriculum in which they think they are making changes to better their education systems. Recently the reforms fall in line with NCLB and “Outcome Based Educations.” Many educators close to the heart of education know that students cannot be standardized and no school should be standardized either; best practices should be used.
Achievement Triangle: knowing ourselves, knowing our students and knowing our content/practice is the key to success in the classroom.
