Smashing the Gap: BASIC Strategies for Educational Success: A Handbook for Parents and Educators

By Dr. Wayne Beckles

Smashing the Gap is a roadmap to that future. It is a handbook for parents and educators who are tired of "waiting for superman," and for those who understand that if there are going to be any superheroes that come their rescue it will be regular everyday folks who are involved in the day-to-day lives of those children who are most impacted by schools that are not responsive to their needs. Those children need advocates to help them navigate what is arguably the most important factor determining the quality of their lives long term-the quality of their education. Those advocates need success strategies, and Smashing the Gap not only provides them with those strategies it also provides a blueprint of what the finished product could look like. This book is for those individuals who are ready to reclaim power over their schools and communities. Smashing the Gap is a call to action for those who realize what is at stake when the quality of a child's education is at risk.
