BARRIERS TO EQUAL-OPPORTUNITY - EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES AND MINORITY-STUDENTS Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • This study empirically examines the impact of within-school educational practices on minority students for the period 1968-1982. Findings reveal disparities between black and white and/or Hispanic and white students in ability-grouping placements, disciplinary actions, and graduation ratios. Also, data show substantial differences in minority and white teacher/administrative employment practices. The implications of these findings for understanding equal educational opportunity and attainment are discussed.
