In his 2007 State of Education address, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O’Connell stated:
“ Groups of California children who have traditionally struggled – groups that in many instances make up the fastest growing portion of our society – continue to trail behind their peers, and the gap is not closing. Recognizing this is important. Addressing it is imperative."
Thus, the California Department of Education (CDE) is pleased to announce that the theme for the 2008 California Title I Conference is “Addressing the Achievement Gap.” This focus shall provide presenters and participants with an opportunity to share successes, discuss challenges, and discover the latest advances in this critical area.
