Definition of the gaps that school counseling programs must work to close:
- ACHIEVEMENT GAPS- The difference in academic performance between groups of K-16 students when data is disaggregated by cultural variables including ethnicity/race, gender, social class, disability, language, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, etc . All K-16 schools have achievement gaps.
- OPPORTUNITY GAPS--The difference in resources given to K-16 students in quality of instruction, teachers, honors/AP/IB curriculum, school/college counseling program with specific ACCESS/academic, career, and college competencies, high expectations, and opportunities that impact who graduates from college and accesses the widest range of careers paying a living wage.
- ATTAINMENT GAPS--the difference in who receives college diplomas and who does not based on disaggregated data by ethnicity/race, gender, social class, disability, language identities, sexual orientation/gender identity/expression, etc.
