SUMMARY:St. Paul - Teachability Factors in General and Special Education: Harnessing Adult Data for Change
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special training for building and district administrators and school board leaders with Dr. Keith Mayes and Maria Roberts on Teachability Factors and Adult Data in General and Special Education. \nAs school districts examine and employ student data in the modification of their classroom practices\, few researchers have called for a deep examination of adult data\, and how it can be harnessed for change. Through the lens of racialized special education\, this session will examine a broad spectrum of adult data in the areas of tolerability\, efficacy\, mindset\, and relationships. We will demonstrate that when we refuse to look at school wide or adult data\, we run the risk of believing students and families are inherently flawed. Educators most often find these “flaws” in our minoritized students and communities. When we refuse to interrogate the system\, we believe it is functioning appropriately. We transfer the “problems of a system” to create the “problem student.”  \nDuring this workshop\, participants will:  \n\nDeepen their knowledge of the racialized history of special education and make connections to current practice.\nReflect on current instructional practices and teachability factors in order to improve support for effective instruction. \nIdentify current sorting and removal practices within their own districts that create inequitable outcomes within both special and general education.\nConsider how the implementation of tools or practices have either replicated or changed student outcomes.\n\nThis event is open to all Minnesota superintendents\, school board members\, equity directors\, principals\, district-level administrators\, special education directors and assistant directors.  \nRegistration fee includes: \n\nContinental breakfast\, lunch\, and snack\n6 CEUs\nA copy of “The Unteachables: Disability Rights and the Invention of Black Special Education” ($30 value)\n\nDr. Keith Mayes is an Associate Professor at the University of Minnesota; former chair of the Department of African American & African Studies; and the Horace T. Morse Alumni Distinguished Teaching Professor. Dr. Mayes earned his Ph.D. in History from Princeton University.
