The United States demography is changing rapidly. How are we
capturing these shifts? Do the racial categories that exist
accurately represent the individuals who fall into them? Have
long-standing categories hindered our understanding of racial
inequality? These questions are particularly significant in
education, where a precise view of students-who achieves and who
requires greater resources-is critical. This volume brings together
the expertise of scholars from a range of disciplines to explore
the current state of racial heterogeneity, data practice, and
educational inequality. They offer recommendations to guide future
research, practice, and policy with the goal of better
understanding and meeting the needs of our diverse student
population in the years to come. Book Features: Contributes both
conceptual and practical knowledge toward understanding the
relevance of data practices that impact racial inequality-important
for both researchers and practitioners. Highlights the relevance of
racial heterogeneity broadly, but also its significance for
particular racial groups-for example, Pacific Islanders and
mixed-race/multiracial students-who are largely understudied.
Offers recommendations that include the importance of promoting
collaboration between researchers, advocates, practitioners, and
policymakers.
