The Achievement Gap Initiative


Ron Ferguson AGI Director & Co-Chair	Dick Murnane Co-Chair	Charles Ogletree Co-Chair

Our mission is to help raise achievement for all children while narrowing racial, ethnic and socio-economic gaps. Working with scholars nationwide, we aim to serve a variety of audiences including policy makers, educators, researchers and parents, by producing and disseminating research and distilling its implications for raising achievement levels and closing achievement gaps.
