Boardroom Presentations is passionate about creating opportunity. We facilitate the installation of Internet connected computers into the households of school aged children to improve the child’s academic achievement and increase the adult’s economic opportunity. Why? Because if you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day and if you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime but if you teach high need families the power of the internet you improve the trajectory of their life.
Closing the Achievement Gap
Schools today are challenged to deliver effective curriculum to a wide variety of students with varied levels of resources and skills. Some students come from high income families with every opportunity while others come from high need families with not as much as a wholesome meal to start the day. Educators are accountable to each one, regardless of their point of entry. Sociological depravity increases the challenge. Community thought-leaders have evaluated the greater challenge for educating these American high-need families and proposed various methods, however additional resources have been the common thread. The broken system has continued for generations. There is never enough money to meet these high-need families where they are.
