New Jersey Network to Close the Achievement Gaps (NJNCAG)

In 2007, the Educational Information and Resource Center (EIRC) and the Penn Center for Educational Leadership at the University of Pennsylvania collaborated to develop a proposal that would establish a regional network of school districts in New Jersey committed to actively reducing the gaps in achievement and school engagement between their African American and Latino/Latina students, and their Caucasian and Asian peers.

The New Jersey Network to Close the Achievement Gaps bases its work on the efforts of the Delaware Valley Minority Student Achievement Consortium, led by the Penn Center for Educational Leadership since 2004.
