In this professional development session for educators, we tackle the critical issue of disproportionality in educational settings, including particular subgroup categories such as multilingual learners (MLs) and students of color among others. Understanding and addressing the factors that contribute to disproportionality is essential for ensuring equitable opportunities and outcomes for all students.
1. Illuminate Disproportionality Dynamics: Educators will gain insight into the factors contributing to the disproportionality of specific subgroups in various aspects of education, including identification for special education services, access to rigorous coursework, and disciplinary actions.
2. Cultivate Cultural Responsiveness: Participants will explore strategies for fostering cultural responsiveness and linguistic diversity in their classrooms and school communities.
3. Implement Equity-Centered Practices: Educators will learn evidence-based practices for addressing disproportionality differentiated instruction, and collaboration with families and community stakeholders.
