Abstract
In this article, the authors describe the unique and complex challenges that educators face when working in low-performing schools in impoverished communities. Further, the authors examine the impact these challenges may have on the academic achievement and special education placement of African American students. The authors also discuss how educational outcomes can be improved for African American learners through collaborative efforts among stakeholders, the use of empirically validated academic and social behavior strategies, and culturally responsive instruction.
