This guide presents ways to reduce exclusion in British schools, particularly exclusion of black Caribbean boys. After showing the percentage of black Caribbean boys being excluded from school, as compared to other ethnic groups, the guide gives good practice recommendations for schools and local education authorities. Schools can bring about improvements in policy and practice that can help ensure equality. Local education authorities can provide leadership to help schools reduce exclusions and can make sure that policies related to race and ethnicity are implemented fairly. Cooperation among local education agencies can reinforce and share good practices for all schools. (SLD)

The rates of exclusion among pupils in the 450 primary, secondary, and special schools in the Birmingham (England) local education agency were studied, and data were analyzed by sex, age, school sector, and ethnic group. The attitudes of teachers and administrators were studied through interviews with up to five school staff members in each of six case study schools with low or decreasing exclusion rates. A sample of students in each case study school completed a questionnaire about their understandings of discipline, student-teacher relationships, and student participation in decision making. Some strategies schools might adopt to reduce exclusion rates overall and the disproportionate exclusion of African Caribbean students were identified. The minimal use of exclusions in the case study schools was not due to a "no exclusions" policy, but rather to comprehensive policies the schools had developed on behavior, pastoral care of students, and the development of an intensive curriculum. Four of the schools had strategies for reducing exclusions among the overrepresented groups. Students in these schools indicated that they understood discipline policies and that relations between students and teachers in their schools were generally good. A number of initiatives were identified that local education agencies could use to reduce exclusions overall. An appendix contains ethnic data on permanent exclusions. (Contains 7 tables, 4 figures, and 68 references.) (SLD)

This study examined the reasons behind exclusion from school, emphasizing the exclusion of students with special needs, ethnic minority children, and children looked after by local authorities. Data collection included interviews with local education authority (LEA) officers; interviews with teachers and administrators; and documents from the schools and LEAs. Overall, teachers appreciated recent Department for Education and Employment guidance but wanted more training and support in handling and minimizing exclusions. Teachers believed high levels of exclusion related to high levels of student mobility in some areas and to difficulties in accessing resources when excluded students were received from elsewhere. The quality of recordkeeping varied considerably between LEAs, influencing their ability to help schools address the needs of ethnic minority students. Interagency project to minimize exclusion were in their early stages. The needs of certain groups were overlooked in policies designed to minimize exclusion. Some principals increasingly used unofficial exclusions. Many principals reported using both fixed period and permanent exclusion in order to access support for special education. Secondary schools with low exclusion rates generally had alternative flexible curriculum arrangements for vulnerable students. Permanent exclusion was considered a failure on the part of inclusive schools. (SM)

It is compiled by leading United Kingdom experts in the field of education and race, who have consulted widely, and is certainly one of the most authoritative books available on the subject.

The true expense, in cash terms, of exclusion from school in England is investigated. Data were gathered in six English local education authorities (LEAs): two in London, two metropolitan authorities, and two country authorities. Permanent exclusion is a matter of concern to the Commission for Racial Equality because some ethnic minorities are affected disproportionately. The total cost of all excluded students was calculated for each of 3 LEAs and the costs of 10 individual cases in each of 3 matching LEAs were calculated using interviews with 27 parents and 12 students. African Caribbean students are excluded between three and six times more often than their White peers. The analyses indicate that there are many policies and practices for dealing with permanent exclusion. They also show the high costs of exclusion, the quality of education and care received by excluded students, and the impact of exclusion on the children and their families. In the first year of exclusion, it is likely that students receive no more than 10% of the education they would otherwise have received. The costs to society after the first year of exclusion are higher, especially the costs of providing replacement income. The largest proportion of costs other than for education is borne by the police and the criminal justice system. Costs are calculated for students kept in their schools although excluded from regular classes, and for those excluded from schooling altogether. Four appendixes contain the research instruments, LEA statistics, costs of "exclusion" cases maintained in the public schools, and costing principles in the public services. (Contains 8 tables, 10 figures, and 14 references.) (SLD)

Educators remove over 3.45 million students from school annually for disciplinary reasons, despite strong evidence that school suspension policies are harmful to students. The research presented in this volume demonstrates that disciplinary policies and practices that schools control directly exacerbate today's profound inequities in educational opportunity and outcomes. Part I explores how suspensions flow along the lines of race, gender, and disability status. Part II examines potential remedies that show great promise, including a district-wide approach in Cleveland, Ohio, aimed at social and emotional learning strategies. Closing the School Discipline Gap is a call for action that focuses on an area in which public schools can and should make powerful improvements, in a relatively short period of time. Contributors include Robert Balfanz, Jamilia Blake, Dewey Cornell, Jeremy D. Finn, Thalia González, Anne Gregory, Daniel J. Losen, David M. Osher, Russell J. Skiba, Ivory A. Toldson “Closing the School Discipline Gap can make an enormous difference in reducing disciplinary exclusions across the country. This book not only exposes unsound practices and their disparate impact on the historically disadvantaged, but provides educators, policymakers, and community advocates with an array of remedies that are proven effective or hold great promise. Educators, communities, and students alike can benefit from the promising interventions and well-grounded recommendations.” —Linda Darling-Hammond, Charles E. Ducommun Professor of Education, Stanford University “For over four decades school discipline policies and practices in too many places have pushed children out of school, especially children of color. Closing the School Discipline Gap shows that adults have the power—and responsibility—to change school climates to better meet the needs of children. This volume is a call to action for policymakers, educators, parents, and students.” —Marian Wright Edelman, president, Children’s Defense Fund

As societies become more diverse, so too must they become more inclusive. In inclusive societies, all members, regardless of their ethnicity, religion, socio-economic status, ability or disability are valued and free to participate, and there is equity of access and reward. Schools have a powerful role to play in creating inclusive societies, and this begins with the notion of inclusive schools - schools were all children belong, where all children have a place, and where difference is a natural part of what it is to be a human being. Based on this understanding, many countries around the world are moving towards more inclusive education systems. However, working against inclusive education are forces of exclusion—factors that act to exclude and marginalize minority students from participation and learning at school. Therefore, in order to progress the principles and practices of inclusive education, an examination of the construct of exclusion is critical. Important questions to be interrogated if inclusive education is to be a reality are: What is exclusion? Why does it occur? How can it be reduced and eliminated? This book critically examines the construct of exclusion, exploring how disabled students experience exclusion both from and within school and suggesting reasons why this occurs. Finally, key foci for change are proposed as platforms for interrogating, reducing and eliminating the forces of exclusion.
