Keys to Special Education – Disproportionality

Properly identifying individuals with disabilities with a bias-free process is a key part of federal special education policy. Ensuring student disciplinary actions don’t disproportionately impact students of color or students with disabilities is equally as important. As a teacher, ensure you fully understand your responsibilities to minimize disproportionality and what you can do back in the classroom.

In this course from Noodle Nook, Ayo Jones shares the federal policy, local procedures, and teacher best practices behind disproportionality in the identification of individuals with disabilities and disciplinary measures applied to students. This session works well for training staff on special education topics and effectively meeting the needs of students with disabilities within the guidelines of the law. It is a part of the Keys to Special Ed Series which focuses on identifying students with disabilities, delivering essential interventions and supports, and complying with best practices and federal guidelines.
