Join the #learninggap Twitter chat on Tuesday
In "English learners still far behind using English-only methods" and "State has one of nation’s highest gaps in Hispanic-white reading proficiency," Sarah Garland of the Hechinger Institute reports on the Latino achievement gap in California schools. What can parents do to close that gap? Just how big of an issue is this? Please join California Watch as we host a Twitter chat with Garland and David Valladolid, president of the Parent Institute for Quality Education. Simply follow us at twitter.com/californiawatch and use the hashtag #learninggap in all of your tweets. If you have questions for Garland (@sarahegarland) or Valladolid, please send them to Public Engagement Manager Ashley Alvarado at aalvarado@cironline.org or @ mention @CaliforniaWatch
