The last few years have been waves of change that many of us may have been overwhelmed by. Many of us are still currently facing this change in our homes, schools, and communities. In our schools especially, we see issues around funding, lack of access to resources, teacher shortages, and more. Students also face factors outside of school that can impact their learning and achievement, like food scarcity, transportation to school, and other basic needs that can influence their performance in school. Because of these different factors, the opportunity gap is something that students face in our school systems.
