Gap Closing: Achieving Results

Last Saturday the African American Leadership Forum hosted the event Gap Closed: Achieving Results conference on the University of Minnesota St. Paul Campus. The event, which had over 200 participants, made up mostly of classroom teachers working at both district and charter schools, was a collaborative project of the AALF Education Workgroup. AALF strives to "dramatically improve educational outcomes for African American children from pre-school through 12th grade by closing the achievement gap in the public school system."
