Why Are So Many Minority Students in Special Education?Author :
Paperback
Published : Wednesday 30 April 2014
Description
The second edition of this powerful book examines the disproportionate placement of Black and Hispanic students in special education. The authors present compelling, research-based stories representing the range of experiences faced by culturally and linguistically diverse students who fall in the liminal shadow of perceived disability. They examine the childrenâ?Ts experiences, their familiesâ?T interactions with school personnel, the teachersâ?T and schoolsâ?T estimation of the children and their families, and the school climate that influences decisions about referrals to special education. Based on the authorsâ?T 4 years of ethnographic research in a large, culturally diverse school district, the book concludes with recommendations for improving educational practice, teacher training, and policy renewal.
