This study was designed to examine the perceptions of educators and concerned citizens toward the academic achievement gap in P-12 schools. The participants were school administrators, school teachers, school counselors, parents, and concerned citizens. Those in each category were asked what they perceived to be important to decreasing the academic achievement gap. In addition, space was provided for each to identify what he/she thought would be most effective in decreasing the academic achievement gap and to write comments, suggestions, or concerns regarding the academic achievement gap in P-12 schools. Results of these findings suggest that most educators and citizens are concerned about the academic achievement gap in P-12 schools and they also feel that more can be done to diminish it. Lastly, implications for the implementation of advanced leadership training and comprehensive school counseling programs are explored.

“…Reality counselors, much like RCT scholars, have suggested that the origin of all underlying problems of clients relates to their lack of a satisfying relationship (Glasser, 1998;Wubbolding, 1988). Therefore, reality counselors and RCT counselors understand that clients' current behaviors and relational interactions are an attempt to deal with negative feelings (e.g., social exclusion, marginalization, hurt) and frustration caused by the unsatisfying relationship (Comstock et al, 2008;Glasser, 1998;Jordan, 2001;Wubbolding, 1988). The constancy of these behaviors prevents them from having the relationship they desire (Tucker et al, 2011).…”

“…While the client identifies the problem, the counselor facilitates the development of the relationship. Building relationships is an essential component of this integrative approach (Glasser, 1997;Tucker et al, 2011;Wubbolding, 1988). Therefore, within an RCT framework, the counselor should allot sufficient time to develop a relationship with Aiyana (Belgrave, 2002;Miller, 1986).…”
