Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to identify educators' beliefs indicating the most preferred support for students with disabilities in the general education classroom setting. This study examined professional educators' attitudes regarding four student supports (motivation, accommodations/modifications, academic improvements, and social issues) for students with disabilities in the inclusive classroom. In addition, the goals of this study included public school educators' attitudes toward the aforementioned four areas of support, specifically within three student ethnic groups (Hispanic, African American, and Whites). The final goal of the study was to compare the attitudes of each of the organizational roles (administrators, general education teachers, special education teachers, and others) regarding motivation, accommodations/modifications, academic improvements, and social issues of students with disabilities participating in general education inclusive classrooms. The findings from this research indicate: 1. Educators perceive accommodations/modifications to be the most beneficial support to offer all students with disabilities in the general education inclusive classroom. 2. Educators perceive accommodations/modifications to be the most beneficial support to offer all students with disabilities in the general education inclusive classroom, regardless of ethnic origin. The results of this study reveal no difference in educators' attitudes within the three student ethnic groups. 3. Administrators, general education teachers, and the organizational role of other professionals in the school believe the primary focus for student support in the inclusive classroom should be on incorporating appropriate accommodations/modifications. 4. Special education teachers perceive academic improvements (differentiated instruction) as their first preference of student support for children with disabilities in the inclusive classroom. The overall findings in this study clearly reveal a pattern of educators' preferences regarding the four student supports for students in special education programs. Accommodations/modifications is the first focus of support for educators to implement, followed by academic improvements (differentiated instruction). The pattern continues with educators indicating motivation to be the third student support and social issues to be the fourth preference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnic Matching: Academic Success of Students of Color is an in-depth exploration on the impact of ethnic matching in education, the paring of students of color with teachers of the same race. Research shows that this method has a positive and long-term impact on the academic experience of students of color. This book explores what makes this phenomenon relevant in today’s classrooms. Through interviewing quality teachers of color, this book sheds a light on the impact these teachers make on the academic experience of students of color. This approach is meant to provide all teachers valuable insight into techniques for engaging with diverse learners. Also, from these conversations, the book shows how the intentionality of culturally responsive practice can enhance the academic experience of students of color. Topics such as the challenges of recruiting and retaining quality teachers of color, as well as the valuable work being done on the local, state, and national level to promote diversifying the field of education as a way to provide equitable education for all students is also explored in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative study was to uncover and examine the perceptions of Special Education Administrators on the over-representation of African Americans in special education. Through surveys, scripted interviews, semi-structured interviews and archival data, this researcher asked participants to give their perceptions of the over-representation of African Americans in special education, the referral process utilized to determine if a student is eligible for special education services, and their perceptions of school district initiatives to reduce over-representation. The participants were 11 Special Education administrators with a continuum of administrative powers up to and including an assistant superintendent. Ten of the participants held Master's degrees, and one participant held a Doctoral degree. Participant perceptions of the over-representation of African Americans in special education often intertwined, so that there were shared themes across all three research questions. Overall, the participants acknowledged over-representation is an issue that needs attention through examination of teacher attitudes, teacher training, the referral process, and through initiatives that would lead to reducing over-representation. Most participants did not perceive an over-representation of African Americans in special education in their particular school district. Participant perceptions varied on the referral process used in their school district to determine if a student is eligible for special education services. Three participants perceived a cultural bias in the process, and nine perceived the process to be culturally unbiased. However, many of the participants acknowledged that referrals for an educational assessment are made before intense and appropriate interventions are put in place. Several participants said they see this more with African American students. The majority of the participants also indicated their perception that teachers often make referrals based on the inability to remediate disruptive behaviors. Initiatives to reduce the over-representation of African Americans in special education were described by participants in both negative and positive terms. Some participants indicated that initiatives are not needed in their district because they did not perceive an over-representation. Two participants acknowledged that initiatives are needed but they are costly and hard to implement. Most participants agreed that the Response to Intervention guidelines would lead to a decrease of African American representation in special education. The meaningful responses of the participants as related to the perceptions of over-representation reinforced the recommendations of those researchers cited in the review of literature. Those researchers promoted further study on the causes of over-representation of African Americans in special education and how educators can intervene in order to reduce the number of African American students placed in special education.
