Body: From: http://www.alliance.brown.edu/stories/story0105.shtml At The Education Alliance's third annual Secondary School Showcase in Providence, RI in January 2004, schools from across the country demonstrated that creating a culture of fairness for all students regarding opportunity, access, and respect for diverse learning styles is a necessary step toward educating all students to high standards.
