• Above grade level by 3rd grade
• Longer school day?• Combat ‘summer loss’• Study year-round calendar for
ACS in 2012-13
![Page 18: Asheville City Schools Vision/Goals for 21st Century Schools](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5568d03fd8b42a173c8b4c98/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What does the research tell us about “The Gap”???
• According to Dr. Ferguson…– Mitigate for biases– Half the gap - predicted by economics.– Half the gap - black parents (on average) not as
academically oriented in raising their children as white parents.
– At age 1 = no gap / At age 3 = there “it” is
![Page 19: Asheville City Schools Vision/Goals for 21st Century Schools](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5568d03fd8b42a173c8b4c98/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Extrapolating from the national and local data …
• Low-income kids may out-learn high-income kids during the school year, but during the summer they fall behind.
• When it comes to reading skills, low-income kids learn nothing when school is not in session.
• Virtually all of the advantage that wealthy kids have over low-income kids is the result of differences in the way privileged kids learn while they are not in school.
![Page 20: Asheville City Schools Vision/Goals for 21st Century Schools](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5568d03fd8b42a173c8b4c98/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Public School Forum• Recommendation #8
– Invest in early childhood education– Hear the “third grade alarm”
• Recommendation #9– Lengthen school day– Lengthen the calendar
