Significant Disproportionality Solutions

The disproportionate representation of minority students in Special Education and in Disciplinary Practices is an issue facing schools nationally.  We have successfully worked with districts cited for significant disproportionality and helped them to ultimately resolve noncompliance by:

• focusing on data based decision making using practical calculation tools,
• supporting district and school teams to reflect on  a range of potential causes,
• providing explicit training on the relevancy of cultural differences on learning and behavior.  

We work with districts to accomplish these tasks and develop objective and measurable action plans for improvement.
