Disproportionate Minority Representation in Special Education
Minority students are disproportionately over-represented in special education
African American children are identified at 1.5 to 4 times the rate of white children in the disability categories of LD, MR, and EBD. They make up 14.8% of pupil population but 26.4% of students in EBD (Drakeford, Cramer, & Staples, 2006; Losen & Orfield, 2002)
There is disproportionality in the representation of Native and Hispanic Americans in some areas as well
Asian American children are under identified in these areas, raising the question of whether the special education needs of these children are being met

Prevalence of EBD in CLD groups
EBD more prevalent in African-American youth from low-SES households and families without two parents
(Achilles, McLaughlin, & Croninger; 2007)
![Page 5: Disproportionate Representation of Minority Students in Programs for Students with Behavioral Disorders Ohio CCBD June 26, 2009 Gwendolyn Cartledge, Ph.D](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110115/551446e9550346414e8b4c38/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Rates of EBD by gender
Girls underidentified for EBD. Possible factors: internalizing might not be detected by existing measurement/identification toolsgender role assumptions
(Rice, Merves, & Srsic; 2008)
Sample population in Quality of Life study: Out of 86 students, only 19 female (Sacks & Kern; 2008)
![Page 6: Disproportionate Representation of Minority Students in Programs for Students with Behavioral Disorders Ohio CCBD June 26, 2009 Gwendolyn Cartledge, Ph.D](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110115/551446e9550346414e8b4c38/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Ohio rates by gender
Males overwhelmingly identified with EBD as opposed to females
ODE Power Report 2007-2008 enrollment by student demographic:
Males comprised 80% of students enrolled w/EBD
![Page 7: Disproportionate Representation of Minority Students in Programs for Students with Behavioral Disorders Ohio CCBD June 26, 2009 Gwendolyn Cartledge, Ph.D](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110115/551446e9550346414e8b4c38/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Discipline and exclusion
Highest disciplinary rates for students w/EBDEBD & ADHD more likely than LD to be excluded;
African-American & Hispanics more likely than Whites to be excluded;
Male and older students more likely be excluded(Achilles et al., 2007)
More severe disciplinary procedures used for students with EBD (Bradley, Doolittle, & Bartolotta; 2008)
![Page 9: Disproportionate Representation of Minority Students in Programs for Students with Behavioral Disorders Ohio CCBD June 26, 2009 Gwendolyn Cartledge, Ph.D](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110115/551446e9550346414e8b4c38/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Setting
Students with EBD participate in general education curriculum less:
are more likely to be serviced with other students with EBD; are excluded from instructional settings more than any other disability category (Bradley et al., 2008)
More segregated settings for AA, Hispanic, Native Am, & ELL students as opposed to White, Asian/PI, other, and non-ELL students (De Valenzuela, Copeland, Qi, & Park, 2006)
![Page 10: Disproportionate Representation of Minority Students in Programs for Students with Behavioral Disorders Ohio CCBD June 26, 2009 Gwendolyn Cartledge, Ph.D](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110115/551446e9550346414e8b4c38/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Outcomes for Students with EBD
Poor school and post-school outcomes for students with EBD; with negligible change over time (Bradley et al., 2008; Kern, Hilt-Panahon, & Sokol; 2009)
More likely to receive lower grades and have the lowest high school completion rate (e.g., drop out at twice the rate of general education students)
Difficulty with employment, postsecondary education, personal relationships, and high rate of involvement in justice system
(Bradley et al., 2008)
![Page 11: Disproportionate Representation of Minority Students in Programs for Students with Behavioral Disorders Ohio CCBD June 26, 2009 Gwendolyn Cartledge, Ph.D](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110115/551446e9550346414e8b4c38/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Outcomes (cont’d)
Consistently highest dropout rates for students with EBD and LD
Lower odds of dropping out if:never have been retained; prepared for class;completed homework; tardy less often
Greater odds of dropping out if:misbehave more;cut class; absent
(Reschly & Christenson, 2006)

Data from One Elementary School:Disciplinary Data Summary
Nearly 50% of school population had disciplinary referrals.
Number of referrals increased dramatically in the spring of each school year.
Males received more referrals than females: 60% year 1, 73% year 2.
African American males:
% in population % referrals
Year 1 41.6% 53.1%
Year 2 38.5% 64.3%

Culturally competent teachers are able to face themselves - are introspective (Howard 2003)
When dealing with disciplinary actions, for example, teachers need to ask:• Are disciplinary actions disproportionate to
one subgroup?• What messages are being sent to student
members of that group and to non-members?
• Are students punished for teachers’ lack of skill in behavior management?
• Are students punished for culturally specific behaviors?
![Page 15: Disproportionate Representation of Minority Students in Programs for Students with Behavioral Disorders Ohio CCBD June 26, 2009 Gwendolyn Cartledge, Ph.D](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110115/551446e9550346414e8b4c38/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
School orientation begins to dwindle at about the 4th grade. Boys begin to seek other means to affirm themselves, perhaps due more to hostile school climate than to peer pressure against “acting white.”
![Page 16: Disproportionate Representation of Minority Students in Programs for Students with Behavioral Disorders Ohio CCBD June 26, 2009 Gwendolyn Cartledge, Ph.D](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110115/551446e9550346414e8b4c38/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
When removal from classroom life begins at an early age, it is even more devastating, as human possibilities are stunted at a crucial formative period of life. Each year the gap in skills grows wider and more handicapping, while the overall process of disidentification … encourages those who have problems to leave school rather than resolve them in an educational setting (Ferguson, p. 230).
![Page 17: Disproportionate Representation of Minority Students in Programs for Students with Behavioral Disorders Ohio CCBD June 26, 2009 Gwendolyn Cartledge, Ph.D](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110115/551446e9550346414e8b4c38/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Cultural Competence
Ways in which schools aggravate social adjustment problems of culturally diverse learners:
Monocultural curriculum (fail to recognize background of culturally diverse learner)
Individualistic/competitive environments
Disproportionate disciplinary referrals with harsher penalties
More restrictive educational placements
Low expectations
![Page 18: Disproportionate Representation of Minority Students in Programs for Students with Behavioral Disorders Ohio CCBD June 26, 2009 Gwendolyn Cartledge, Ph.D](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110115/551446e9550346414e8b4c38/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Cultural Competence
Clash between culture of school (control/authority) & males (need to be empowered/affirmed) cultural discontinuities
Need for greater cultural competence by school personnel
Reduce hostile school climate through culture of caring
Develop positive student - teacher relationships
Provide direct and intense instruction in desired social and academic skills
![Page 19: Disproportionate Representation of Minority Students in Programs for Students with Behavioral Disorders Ohio CCBD June 26, 2009 Gwendolyn Cartledge, Ph.D](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110115/551446e9550346414e8b4c38/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Cultural Competence
Empower and affirm males through:
Social skill instruction in needed behaviors
Individualized behavior plans
Effective/intensive academic instruction
![Page 20: Disproportionate Representation of Minority Students in Programs for Students with Behavioral Disorders Ohio CCBD June 26, 2009 Gwendolyn Cartledge, Ph.D](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110115/551446e9550346414e8b4c38/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

““Responding to Conflicts and Responding to Conflicts and Aggression” InstructionAggression” Instruction
Using folktale to teach social skills (Cartledge & Kleefeld, 1994; in press)
A Lot of Silence Makes a Great Noise
![Page 22: Disproportionate Representation of Minority Students in Programs for Students with Behavioral Disorders Ohio CCBD June 26, 2009 Gwendolyn Cartledge, Ph.D](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110115/551446e9550346414e8b4c38/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Skill Components
When someone says or does something to bother or threaten us, we:
1. Don’t look at the person. 2. Don’t talk to the person.3. Think about how to get away.4. If you can, get away.5. Go to a safe place.6. If necessary, call for help.
![Page 23: Disproportionate Representation of Minority Students in Programs for Students with Behavioral Disorders Ohio CCBD June 26, 2009 Gwendolyn Cartledge, Ph.D](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110115/551446e9550346414e8b4c38/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Modeling, Guided, and Independent Practice
Situation: You are walking home from school. Two bullies, both bigger than you are, call you names and threaten you.

Affirmation
For his good team work and
leadership…
By the power invested in Ms. Jones’ 3rd grade class… we hereby announce…
James Brownas our very own
Quarterback

Reinforcing Appropriate Behavior
“[B]ehaviors which are supported and recognized are the ones which will increase” (Rhode, Jenson, &
Reavis, 1992, p. 27).“Good job, James, for following directions.”
vs.
“Stop it, James. You are interrupting the class.”
If the student’s appropriate behavior does not increase, whatever you are doing is not reinforcing to the student (not working).
![Page 29: Disproportionate Representation of Minority Students in Programs for Students with Behavioral Disorders Ohio CCBD June 26, 2009 Gwendolyn Cartledge, Ph.D](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110115/551446e9550346414e8b4c38/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Academic Instruction
Good teaching as first line of defenseMany students’ problem behavior are results of poor academic achievement• “I can’t do the work. I’m bored. So let’s find
something else to do!!” (academic escape)
Good teaching produces “double” effects
Good teaching requiresMaximum number of instructional trials (fast pace + no down time)
Students’ overt responses
Error correction with repeated practice

(Lambert et al., 2006)
![Page 32: Disproportionate Representation of Minority Students in Programs for Students with Behavioral Disorders Ohio CCBD June 26, 2009 Gwendolyn Cartledge, Ph.D](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110115/551446e9550346414e8b4c38/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Early Identification
Identify children at-risk as early as possible
Children born into high risk situations considered for intervention from birth
High quality in home and preschools programs• 4 and 5 year olds participating in a half day
preschool had 32% fewer special ed placements
(Conyers, Reynolds, & Ou, 2003)
![Page 33: Disproportionate Representation of Minority Students in Programs for Students with Behavioral Disorders Ohio CCBD June 26, 2009 Gwendolyn Cartledge, Ph.D](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110115/551446e9550346414e8b4c38/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Early Academic Intervention
School-based assessment to identify at-risk students
Link between academic deficits and behavior problems
Increased focus on early reading skillsDynamic Indicator of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBLES)• Focuses on phonemic awareness and oral
reading fluency
![Page 34: Disproportionate Representation of Minority Students in Programs for Students with Behavioral Disorders Ohio CCBD June 26, 2009 Gwendolyn Cartledge, Ph.D](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110115/551446e9550346414e8b4c38/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Importance of P.A. and ORF
Students still behind in third grade rarely catch up to peers
These skills should be assessed and taught early
Research demonstrates intervention for PA and ORF successful in increasing targeted skills and reducing behavior disruptions (Kourea, Cartledge, & Musti-Rao, 2007; Koutsofats, Harmom, & Gray, 2008; Lane, Menzies, Munton, Von Duering, & English, 2005; Staubitz, Cartledge, Yurick, and Lo, 2005)

Reading Intervention
First-graders in two schools 6 boy and 2 girls
Ages 6 to 8 years old
African-American
Low-income, urban schools
Identified as “at-risk”• DIBELS winter benchmark
Oral reading fluency scores
All students were either “at-risk” or “some risk”
