Demographic Characteristics of The Black Family
Nearly half (48%) of all African American families are maintained by women with no spouse present.

Demographic Characteristics of The Black Family
AA women have the highest rates of martial separation & are more likely to remain separated without getting a legal divorce.
Why?
Cohabitation as an alternative to marriage is more common among Blacks
Why?
Possibly because male income & employment are lowest among minorities; male economic status may be an important determinant as to whether a man feels ready to marry and a woman wants to marry him

Characteristics of the Black Family
The Black family is an institution that contains “historical traditions” that set them apart from the European American, Middle class family ideal.
Billingsley (1968) proposes 5 general statements that characterize families of African descent:
They are extended in form
Have fictive kin
Have supportive family patterns
Have flexible family boundaries
Have flexible gender roles in child rearing
Nobles (1985) emphasizes the communalistic socialization of children & the role of the elderly

Characteristics of the Black Family
Perspective on the Black Family
A deficit perspective has historically been used to characterize African American families as deprived, disadvantaged, and poorly educated.
Many of the empirical investigations on Black families have used European American, middle –class families as the standard of comparison.

Dropout Rates of African American Males in Special Education

DROPOUT RATES OF AFRICAN AMERICAN MALES IN SPECIAL 2
Synopsis
There is extensive research on the topic of dropout rates of students in the United States.
This research shows an historical impact of how African Americans are overrepresented in
special education programs and have high dropout rates. As the research will establish, there are
many reasons cited for dropping out with negative consequences rippling across this growing
population. Empirical studies define reasons for dropping out, estimate dropout rates with ever
increasing precision, and examining the correlates of dropping out, including race,
socioeconomic status (SES), and school’s performance.
Abstract
Educational Attainment, while highly valued, is in short supply among African
Americans. Overrepresentations of African Americans are much more prevalent and are more
pervasive with a well documented history of oppression and discrimination that have
characterized race relations in American history (Skiba, Simmons, Ritter, Gibb, Rausch,
Cuadrado, & Chung, Spring 2008). The purpose of this study is to examine dropout rates of
African American males in special education settings. More specifically, this study will examine
the relationship of gender, educational placement and dropout rates of students in high school.
The population of this study consists of elementary and secondary students across the nation
enrolled in public schools. The study will use Ad Hoc data compiled from the Composition
Index (CI), the Risk Index (RI), and Relative Risk Ratio. The findings of this study revealed that
there is a significant correlation between race and gender for educational placement in special
education. Further, the findings revealed that there is also a significant between race and gender
and high school dropout rates.
DROPOUT RATES OF AFRICAN AMERICAN MALES IN SPECIAL 3
Introduction
Educational Attainment, while highly valued, is in short supply among African
Americans. More specifically, African American males are disproportionately placed in special
education and labeled mentally challenged at higher rates than their White, non-Hispanic
counterparts. In contrast to special education, African American males are placed in advanced
placement and identified gifted/ talented at one-sixth as often as White non-Hispanic males in the
greater Houston area. Research supports that this is not a new phenomenon. Historically, special
education was created from the efforts of the Civil Rights movement. Concerns of racial
inequality led to litigation that brought about the first special education legislation. Because of
this unique tie to the Civil Rights movement, it is very ironic that there are racial disparities in
the placement of min ...
We all have hidden biases (both favorable and unfavorable) that influence our behavior. How do we become aware of our biases? How can we show respect to the students/families from diverse cultures that we serve? Kazue McGregor teaches about Cultural Competency. Cultural competency is the ability to effectively deliver services to meet our client’s social, cultural, and sometimes linguistic needs and show families that you truly care.
This chapter examines one of the major tools used by the policy researcher, a systematic and structured framework for policy analysis. The authors also propose a model for policy analysis.

Summary
In this chapter, we discussed the changing context of schooling in the United States, the research evidence that examines the influence of families on children’s school success, and the evidence on the influence of schools on families. We highlighted the revolutionary changes in teacher beliefs and practices that undergird educators’ current efforts to build more culturally responsive relationships with students and their families. These new practices require educators to (a) build on students’ and families’ funds of knowledge, (b) share the role of expert with families, (c) practice no-fault problem solving, and (d) create opportunities for nonproblematic family–school interaction. We described the benefits and barriers to be derived from these new ways of interacting with families. Finally, we discussed the philosophy and goals that underlie the development of this book.
Activities and Questions
1. Consider the dramatic demographic changes in the student population, ages birth to 17, that are predicted in the next 10 years. How might these changes affect your ideas about whom you might be teaching when you enter the profession?
2. In contrast to the traditional ways that educators relate to families, describe four ways that collaborative educators are connecting with families. Which specific changes in these teacher beliefs and practices of interacting with their students’ families seem most different from the teacher practices that you or your family experienced during your elementary and high school years of schooling?
3. Is there any evidence that parent–family involvement in their children’s schooling matters? If so, what is it?

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
