Watch: JKCF Director of Research on Wall Street Journal

Yesterday the Wall Street Journal interviewed Cooke Foundation Director of Research Jennifer Giancola about newly released Excellence Gap research. Equal Talents, Unequal Opportunities: A Report Card on State Support for Academically Talented Low-Income Students finds that state policies nationwide fail effectively to support students who have the potential to reach high levels of academic performance, particularly students from low-income backgrounds. Not one state receive an A in this report.
