<br/><br/> The authors discuss their research on the achievement gap between and within minority groups, and conclude "that both school-based factors and home-based factors are important to the success of every child, regardless of racial or ethnic differences. School policy and practice must be founded not on perceptions of group stereotypes, but rather on knowledge about each student's needs and strengths." (PHI DELTA KAPPAN)
