Join Free →In this presentation, two current doctoral students who are Board Certified Behavior Analysts and special educators in the classroom and at the district level will communicate the urgent need for interdisciplinary collaboration between Behavior Analysts and educators in order to address the disproportionality, inequities, and teacher attrition and retention that subsist in the field. They will make the case for an applied behavior analytic approach to solving a multitude of issues relating to behavior that contribute to disproportionate discipline rates and the over identification of students of color in special education. Additionally, they will provide relevant information on current issues related to hiring and retaining special educators and how behavior analysis may be key to improving work conditions. This presentation will focus on interdisciplinary collaboration between applied behavior analysis and special education at the district, school, and classroom levels and empowering special education leaders to support their staff and bring about lasting change. Presenters welcome those with divergent perspectives about how to address disproportional discipline rates and identifications. Resources will be shared and participants will develop action steps that are unique to their own settings.
