This interactive workshop addresses the critical issue of disproportionality of Latino students in special education while focusing on creating sustainable and transformative change through the implementation of high-leverage strategies within Universal Design for Learning (UDL) frameworks. In California, where Latinx students represent more than half of the public school population, 61 Local Educational Agencies were found significantly disproportionate for Latino students in special education during 2018-2019, primarily in the area of Specific Learning Disability (CDE, 2020). In 2023-24, nearly 60% of Students with Disabilities in California were identified as Latino. Participants will explore culturally responsive evidence-based practices for co-teaching models, develop skills in designing expected measurable outcomes (EMOs), and gain practical knowledge of effective Tier 1 and Tier 2 interventions that create lasting impact for Latino students and other diverse learners.
