This text is a journey into disproportionality through understanding biases that create barriers for vulnerable populations. It gives adaptive strategies for systemic change and technical skills for using data to promote equity. |
| Synopsis: |
When the numbers don't lie, this is your guide to doing what's rightAccording to federal data, African American students are more than three times as likely as their white peers to be suspended or expelled. As a school leader, what do you do when your heart is in the right place, but your data show otherwise? In Solving Disproportionality and Achieving Equity, Edward Fergus takes us on a journey into disproportionality by engaging our hearts and minds on the presence of biases that create barriers to the success of students of color. If your school is faced with a disproportionate rate of suspensions, gifted program enrollment, or special education referrals for students of color, this book shows how you can uncover the root causes and rally your staff to face the challenge head on. You will:Understand through compelling vignettes and case studies how bias affects policies and practices even in good schoolsKnow what questions to ask and what data to analyze to get to the root causeCreate your own road map for becoming an equity-driven school, with staff activities, data collection forms, checklists, and progress monitoring toolsIf you are interested in developing a deep understanding of the policy, practice, and beliefs necessary for schools to address disproportionality and achieve equity, this book delivers all that and more."Through careful analysis of data obtained from real cases, Edward Fergus shows how disproportionality is manifest and how it can be thoughtfully addressed. For educators and policy makers seeking solutions to these complex issues, this book will be an invaluable resource." -Pedro Noguera, Distinguished Professor of EducationUCLA, Graduate Schools of Education and Information Studies |
