Data Maps
NCRESSt and the National Institute for Urban School Improvement (NIUSI) have developed this interactive data website to help states and school districts examine their special education data. Both the National Academy of Sciences and the Civil Rights Project have recently examined the degree to which students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds are disproportionately represented in particular disability categories and in particular kinds of special education placement. In this website, interactive maps and tables present the distributions of students with disabilities across various disability categories by ethnic/racial category and teacher qualifications to help practitioners and policy makers at the local and state levels understand their own status in relationship to disproportionate representation in special education.

Publications and other tools designed to assist students, families, school professionals, researchers, and policy makers understand and develop solutions to disproportionality.

A newsletter and many other resources are also available.
