CEL's Mission - closing the achievement gap

CEL's mission:

CEL is dedicated to eliminating the achievement gap that continues to divide our nation in regards to race, class, language, and disability.

Bo's comments on our Achievement Gap (11/2012):

• In one year we cut the achievement gap by 44% - it was not an accident.
• We have what it takes to leave no child behind.  
• Our gap has names and faces - we know who they are.

My thoughts:

• The achievement gap can be very frustrating on a day to day basis.  how do we stay motivated and inspired to close it?
