Description:  This conference seeks to examine “the gaps” that exist in education so that we can collaborate for solutions.

• Pre K – 16 practitioners often experience a “gap” in the curriculum as students transition from one level to the next.
• Students and practitioners encounter “gaps” in the system through barriers that exist which prevent student success.
• Diversity can contribute to a “gap” between students and practitioners as they face differences in values, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, language, class, etc.
• Inequity in services and access to resources contribute to a “gap” in achievement among students as well as the ability for practitioners to serve students adequately.
• “Gaps” can also highlight opportunities for change brought about by educators “collaborating for action”.

Come engage with colleagues to learn ways to fill these gaps.
