Year after year, article after article is published about the achievement gap in San Francisco Unified School District. It is discussed in meeting after meeting, yet the gap persists, affecting the educational opportunities and futures of students of color in San Francisco.
This semester our class examined the achievement gap in relationship to our own school experiences. Our show, Caught in the Achievement Gap, features monologues, dances, and short plays highlighting students’ research, personal journeys, and perspectives. It reveals some of the biggest barriers to student achievement, and challenges the audience to reflect and take action. We are out here to speak truth to power and to fight for the educations we deserve.
An original piece of theater written and performed by the students of the Acting for Critical Transformations (ACT) Project:
