What is the Achievement Gap? Why is the Achievement Gap a national crisis? How does the Achievement Gap affect you? Dr. Bolger's lecture based on his new book “An Ethnographic Look at Teachers Using Technology to Help Close the Achievement Gap” will address these and other questions. The lecture will underscore the Achievement Gap crisis that is local, regional, and national while primarily concentrated in urban areas.  His lecture will focus on the ethnographic methodology used for his study, the definition of the Achievement Gap, as well as, the subgroups associated with the Achievement Gap.

Dr. Bolger will contend that teachers using technology effectively play a major role in helping to reduce the Achievement Gap. He will provide insightful strategic approaches based on some of the current research and primary case studies referenced in his book.

In addition to his many other accomplishments, Dr. Bolger also served as a teacher leader as a part of the Distributed Leadership Program in the School District of Philadelphia.
