Enhancing outcomes: Culturally adapted social–emotional and behavioral interventions for rural black elementary learners at risk. School Psychology. Advance online publication. https://doi.org/10.1037/spq0000648<https://psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/spq0000648>
Educators are responsible for supporting positive school experiences for all students, including those with or at risk for emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). Students with or at risk for EBD experience multiple negative outcomes impacting their school years, and these negative outcomes extend past graduation. Social and emotional learning programs are being used by schools to build students’ competency in areas designed to help them successfully manage the school environment and life in general. However, studies have not provided evidence that universal social–emotional learning (SEL) programs are effective for Black students. This study provides data on the efficacy of an intervention package comprised of the Strong Kids SEL Program and a Tier 2 culturally adapted check-in/check-out (CICO) with Black students in a rural district in an underserved community. Cultural adaptations presented for the SEL curriculum were based on developers’ recommendations and teacher feedback from prior studies and incorporated focus groups. Behavior management support in the form of a culturally adapted CICO was provided to participants exhibiting externalizing behaviors disruptive to the learning process. Results indicated a functional relation between the intervention package culturally adapted (SEL + CICO) and a decrease in student rate of externalizing behavior and strong social validity across teachers and students. Hierarchical linear modeling showed a statistically significant decrease in externalizing behavior from baseline to intervention phases, with data suggesting the moderator of grade-level explained variability in the effectiveness of the intervention.

Welcome Note...
With summer soon drawing to a close, we are already looking ahead to the start of another wonderful school year. As a Center committed to identifying and disseminating best practices in education, we are excited about the array of new school-based projects, studies, and workshops that will launch this fall. We believe every student with a disability deserves a high-quality education marked by the three R’s—rigor, relevance, and relationships. This involves accessing rigorous instruction, participating in relevant learning experiences, and developing meaningful relationships with peers and teachers. When we do this work well, we can change the trajectories of all students. You can learn more about our education-focused projects here<https://t.e2ma.net/click/n4ydth/br00xghc/7zwcqcb>. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the remaining weeks of summer with family, friends, and community.

Re: DEI Vs. MFE

Subject: [Project.diverse] DEI Vs. MFE
These posts to the list serv are part of my mentoring approach as there is so much misinformation in the popular literature. I would usually cover in Issues and Trends. Perhaps we will revisit if we can get it on the schedule.
There are two dualling views right now worth thinking about: diversity, inclusion and equity Vs. merit, fairness, and equality.
Special education and addressing disparities is indeed based on the idea of equity- we give something to one group (in this case, based on disability), that we don’t give another. Yet, the neurodiverse movement would have us spread that “special education” out across all students (each student gets a slice of a special education based on diversity as everyone is diverse in some way...) which many argue effectively kills the premise of equity based on disability). The other issue is the one of fairness, what is fair? And depending on how you think about them…can lead to very different places for intervention.
In the big picture…the old left position was one of class or SES (think of the labor movement, unions, 40 hour work week, child labor laws), which diverges from the new left position that of culture (often defined as race/ethnicity, but more recently expanded and generalized into other areas of identity from gender to race to neurodiversity, and then within each, there are variations…the four waves of feminism for example).
Merit, Fairness, and Equality
https://hxstem.substack.com/p/merit-fairness-and-equality
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) bureaucracies are now ubiquitous at universities. However, DEI is in tension with the telos of a university: the pursuit of truth through the production and dissemination of knowledge. DEI programs also violate the moral principles of treating all human beings equally and not using them as mere instruments to achieve socio-political ends. In order to protect the integrity of universities it is necessary to offer an alternative to the DEI agenda.
Diversity, Inclusion and Equity.
https://www.vox.com/policy/2023/5/4/23644810/equity-social-justice-equali...
[Bernie Sanders was stumped. The question, posed by Bill Maher on a recent episode of his HBO show, was, “How would you differentiate between ‘equity’ and ‘equality’? “Well, equality we talk about —” Sanders broke off. “I don’t know what the answer to that is,” he admitted]

And no group speaks with one voice- you see divergence as well with Glen Lowery- who signed onto the piece about merit, fairness, and equality, was the first black economics professor at the age of 33 to gain tenure at Harvard.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Loury
And
Derik Bell, who is the father of CRT, who brought the ideas of the Frankfurt School of Marxist Criticism to the legal world, which in turn was applied to feminism and intersectionality and gender identity by people like Kimberly Crenshaw.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derrick_Bell
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimberl%C3%A9_Crenshaw
I have spent last 20 years in Germany during the summer and we always debate Marx (who was German, even though he fled to England with Engels and is buried in London). The Frankfurt school (which is no longer a school really- more of a school of thought, but a group of German socialist philosophers who fled Germany to the US as National Socialism took over during WW2, basically applies Marx’s class struggle to identity (gender, race, disability, etc.) and combines it with Freud’s psychoanalysis.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_School
And I think have written some interesting things- the “commodification of culture” is a good one that is an interesting idea- think of how Phil Knight commoditizes black culture to sell Nike shoes using labor from China…same with music industry, or perhaps the “Keep Christ in Christmas” movement- as Christmas as a religious holiday is often commoditized and used to emphasize materialism with Santa and selling presents undercutting the meaning of the holiday. As in all things- the “devil is in the details” and especially, application.

Science of Reading Laws
by Burke, Mack
More for the grist mill…I think there are now science of reading laws in over 40 states thanks in part to colleagues working across conservative groups, department of education, and state chapters of the NAACP…sort of bridgebuilding that needs to happen…The Hill piece below is accurate on illiteracy rates for black/brown children- more my area- you also see the same for disproportionality and suspension/expulsion in schools (and of course, reading, academics, and behavior are correlated). Nice piece on the need to pair implementation science with the science or reading (I would add the science of behavior), otherwise, it is just another nice idea that is not implemented. It also is at “loggerheads” (a very scientific term…😊) of the current anti-interventionist perspectives being pushed by many of the diversity movements, which views science as a form of oppression, including the neurodiverse movement…
