While the student population in public education is becoming more diverse, the representation of teachers of color remains low. With over half the student population in the United States considered as non-white, and only 20% of teachers identifying as teachers of color, it is imperative to examine the ways in which education professionals are addressing teaching and learning in a way that is inclusive of culturally diverse populations. Gloria Ladson-Billings (1994) developed her culturally relevant pedagogy framework nearly 30 years ago, and though rarely discussed in special education, her approach is critically important to the field. This article calls on teacher educators to engage future special education teachers in ways that support their implementation of CRP as an ongoing framework. In order to achieve this, we focus on the effective characteristics of culturally relevant special education teachers, and on creating culturally relevant special education teacher programs in higher education.
Remedial and Special Education
Introduction to the Special Issue—A Necessary Step in Pursuit of Equity: Developing a Racially/Ethnically Diverse Special Education Teaching ForceThis special issue of Remedial and Special Education is a collection of theoretical and empirical research addressing equity in the preparation of a diverse special education teaching force, with a focus on racial/ethnic diversity. The purpose of this special issue is to open a conversation about equity as it pertains to special education teachers, including both students’ equitable access to special education teachers who share their racial/ethnic and/or cultural background and prospective special educators’ equitable access to the profession.

Creating Inclusive Excellence: A Model for Culturally Relevant Teacher Education2016 •
With increasing racial and linguistic diversity in U.S. public schools, scholars argue for teacher education programs that explicitly focus on issues of diversity. Based on this assumption, teacher education programs must consider: How do we successfully prepare teachers to teach diverse students? As teacher educators, we support effective preparation of teachers in meeting the needs of all students, but we are especially concerned about the preparation of teachers in urban classrooms. We developed a culturally relevant teacher education model that demonstrates our efforts to connect theory and practice. For this initiative, we organized a daylong conference with eight professional development workshops. The workshops in this paper focused on culturally relevant pedagogies addressing racial, cultural or linguistic diversity. We analyzed 122 post-workshop surveys to capture the effectiveness and relevance of the workshops. Findings indicate several nuanced processes are necessary for adequately preparing educators in culturally relevant traditions, even when educators are already well-meaning.

Addressing the Disproportionate Representation of Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students in Special Education through Culturally Responsive Educational Systems2005 •
In this article, we present a conceptual framework for addressing the disproportionate representation of culturally and linguistically diverse students in special education. The cornerstone of our approach to addressing disproportionate representation is through the creation of culturally responsive educational systems. Our goal is to assist practitioners, researchers, and policy makers in coalescing around culturally responsive, evidence-based interventions and strategic improvements in practice and policy to improve students’ educational opportunities in general education and reduce inappropriate referrals to and placement in special education. We envision this work as cutting across three interrelated domains: policies, practices, and people. Policies include those guidelines enacted at federal, state, district, and school levels that influence funding, resource allocation, accountability, and other key aspects of schooling. We use the notion of practice in two ways, in the instr...
