[Xmca-l] Fwd: An Explanation for the Achievement Gap

[mike cole]

The lead article on the achievement gap arrives at conclusions that would
seem
to provide justification for the kinds of changes in the organization of
education that many on this list have been studying for some time.
Wouldn't, for example,
social design experiments be just the kind of research you would want in
order
to bring about about the proposed systems changes?
