Could You Have Dispro Lurking in the Basement of Your Profile?

“Dispro” is a term familiar to seasoned special education leaders, but may not ring a bell for other educators. It refers to disproportionality, or significant disparities in our data regarding how we identify, serve, and discipline student with disabilities from various racial and ethnic groups. From the perspective of the Special Education Profile, it would seem pretty clear - you either have this phenomenon happening, or you don’t. But as we tackle this week’s essential question - Are children with disabilities receiving equitable services and supports? - we will talk about ways that hidden disparities could be lurking in your data, and what you can do about them.


Co-Hosts: Jenine Sansosti, SST8 Director and Rachel Undercoffer, SST8 Educational Consultant
