Disproportionality in special education parallels a persistent history of chronic socioeconomic and racial inequalities relating to the country's history of denying educational opportunities to students of color, multilingual students, students with disabilities, and those at the intersections of these identities. This book draws on the authors' experiences as technical assistance providers with the Center for Disproportionality, coupled with the latest research findings on the causes of racial disproportionality in general and special education. \u003cem\u003eDismantling Disproportionality\u003c\/em\u003e examines four district case studies, showing how each progresses from theory to practice in delivering educational services to all students. The authors conclude that the most effective way to address disproportionality is to use a culturally responsive educational systems approach that critically engages practitioners at the intersection of beliefs, policies, procedures, and practices. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBook Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers a concrete, multipronged approach to disrupt and dismantle disproportionality in education.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTakes a systemic approach to disproportionality that centers culturally responsive and sustaining education. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes a framework that can be used at the teacher and school building level, in teacher and leadership preparation programs, and with districts and state education agencies. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides useful reflection questions, key takeaways, and tools for readers.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mar?
