There will be panel discussions on the progress our country has made in achieving
equality of educational opportunity in the decades since the publication
of the Coleman Report and the options for making
greater strides in the future.
The 15 - year research synthesis from the American

of the Associations Between Socioeconomic Background, Inequality, School Climate, and Academic Achievement,» suggests that by promoting a positive climate, schools can allow
greater equality in
educational opportunities, decrease socioeconomic inequalities, and enable more social mobility for students.
