Based on the author's experience leading equity-focused technical
assistance centers, this book details approaches to partnering with
educators and other stakeholders to eliminate racial
disproportionality in special education. Because of its historical
and current relevance as an indicator of systemic oppression,
Thorius centers disproportionality as a crucial issue to be
addressed through technical assistance partnerships. For these
partnerships to be successful, technical assistance providers must:
(1) support partners in engaging with systemic and individual
oppressions that contribute to inequities at the intersections of
racism and ableism, and (2) introduce partners to resources that
mediate learning about, and development of, locally relevant
solutions that abolish racism and ableism in tandem. Equity
Expansive Technical Assistance for Schools provides a
research-based framework for conducting technical assistance,
including vignettes and facilitation guides that educational
leaders can use to address disproportionality in special education
within their local contexts. Book Features: Detailed protocols for
professional dialogue toward eliminating racial disproportionality
in special education. Expanded definitions and descriptions of
disproportionality as an issue of ableism, as well as racism.
Real-life examples of technical assistance and professional
development partnership activities that improve conditions leading
to, and outcomes of, disproportionality.
