John Rogers, director of UCLA’s Institute for Democracy, Education and Access, will testify on the achievement gap for African-American students in Sacramento today.
Rogers was invited by the California Legislative Black Caucus to participate in an informational hearing that will focus on the current state of black students in public schools. Titled “Closing the Achievement Gap: An Examination of the Challenges and Opportunities for African American Students in California Public Schools,” the hearing will discuss education policy issues like curriculum and instruction, teacher quality, expectations, drop-out and retention and educational equity, as well as the roles of accountability and leadership.
Today’s information will be used by the caucus to formulate its education policy agenda for the rest of the year.
The hearing will begin at 2 p.m. at the Capitol Building Room 112, Sacramento, Calif.
