Smart vs. cool -Culture, race and ethnicity in Silicon Valley schools
by Sharon Noguchi, Ken McLaughlin, Jessie Mangaliman
Check out this series on the achievement gap as reported by Sharon Noguchi, Ken McLaughlin and Jessie Mangaliman of the San Jose Mercury News. In addition to stories, the education team created a database to help students and families in a five county area learn about the academic difference between ethnic groups. This is the first project to be published as a part of EWA's 2008 Research and Statistics bootcamp.
