NIUSIpart of the Education Reform NetworksOn the Nexus of Race, Disability, and Overrepresentation: What Do We Know? Where Do We Go?Link: http://www.urbanschools.org/pdf/race.pdf?v_document_name=Nexus%20of%20Race
America’s schools are more culturally diverse and complex than at any time in
the nation’s history. The schools continue to have problems with overrepresentation as
long as they develop educational structures, systems, routines, and pedagogies without
understanding more about how the belief systems, biases, prejudices, and
socioeconomic inequities that have existed for centuries in the American society are
played out and perpetuated in our nation’s schools. They must change the way they think
about ability, competence, and success and schools to redefine support so
that the need to “sort” children is reduced. Schools must not require students to adapt to
the prevalent teaching practices, instructional materials, and assessment instruments
that are used in schools and which often lead to the determination encourage that they are
deficient in their ability to learn.
