In his remarks at the NEA Foundation's Cross-Site Convening on Oct. 12, 2012, Pedro Noguera, Peter L. Agnew Professor of Education at New York University, reflected on promotion of equity to close the achievement gaps by addressing the broader range of academic and non-academic supports needed by traditionally under-served student populations to succeed. He drew from: insights articulated in his latest book (co-authored with Wade Boykin), "Creating the Opportunity to Learn: Moving from Research to Practice to Close the Achievement Gap," and from his experience leading the Broader, Bolder Approach (BBA).
