How do race/ethnicity, language, and poverty intersect to affect classification of students into special education categories (i.e., how do the 6 ecological layers influence provision of education) and what term describes how educators need to deal with this problem?
What will be an ideal response?
There are multiple factors affecting the education of all students, proving that it is wrong to conclude that problems reside in and originate from the students and their families. One must consider the influence of at least 6 factors: 1) some families have different cultural values than those of the majority group; 2) state and federal policies, including funding of schools from tax revenues, impact different regions and different schools within regions differently; 3) different kinds of communities (urban, suburban, rural) have different issues; 4) school factors like staff qualifications and availability of resources have a huge impact; 5) many different family factors
