Vision:
Eliminate the achievement gap in selected Missouri schools to inform
future strategies for all Missouri schools.
Mission:
Close the achievement gap between subgroups of students attaining
proficient levels on state performance assessments in communication arts
and math.
Outcome:
Decrease the achievement gap between black students within the
consortium schools and white students statewide in communication arts
and math by at least 15% over the three years of the project consistent
with the DESE strategic plan (2004).
Purposes:
The Close the Gap Consortium will work cooperatively with identified
schools in local school districts to:
Overcome difficulties meeting Missouri School Improvement Program
performance standards for all students through application of
research-based models of school improvement including leadership,
instruction, curriculum development, and classroom management, with a
focus on culturally responsive practices.
Collaborate with the district and the building for a long-term systemic
school improvement initiative, at both the school and district levels,
resulting in significantly improved student performance.
