A grant will fund collaborative research between Wisconsin’s Department of Public Instruction and the University of Wisconsin-Madison [WCER] to narrow gaps in student opportunity and achievement levels, according to a release.
The $5.2 million U.S. Department of Education grant will fund research on data from all state public schools over the next four years, officials said. The goal of the research is to identify proven techniques that teachers can use to narrow gaps in student opportunity and achievement levels across all racial and ethnic backgrounds and family incomes.
