The author acknowledges that, while compliance with IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) is important, it can also be an administrative burden that detracts from practitioners’ capacity to adequately serve students with disabilities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing data collected from three suburban school districts, Voulgarides helps us to understand how compliance with IDEA intersects with decades of evidence of racial inequities in student outcomes. This timely and thought-provoking book unpacks the civil rights history of IDEA, examines the impact of its procedural focus on educational practice, and questions why racial inequities in special education persist despite good intentions by policymakers, educators, and school personnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBook Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses empirical evidence to examine the common assumption that compliance with IDEA leads to educational equity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocuses on the different dimensions of the equity concern that lie at the intersection between race, disability, and educational policy. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChallenges practitioners to think about the roles they play in both the production and the disruption of educational inequities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Catherine Kramarczuk Voulgarides","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43037233938534,"sku":"9780807759011","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/4051\/5174\/files\/9780807759011.jpg?v=1771608260","url":"https:\/\/www.tcpress.com\/products\/does-compliance-matter-in-special-education_9780807759011","provider":"Teachers College Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
