Abstract

Challenges in the measurement of racial disparities in school discipline are a significant barrier to identifying policy and programmatic reforms that are effective at closing gaps. This article reviews key measurement issues and presents a set of empirical analyses as an illustrative case study. Specifically, we reframe the interpretation of discipline data in light of initiatives designed to reduce racial discipline disparities. We also characterize common metrics and recognize several additional ones for use in discipline disproportionality outcome evaluations. Leveraging a statewide policy reform as an example, we report findings from a quasi-experimental evaluation, which demonstrated that the various metrics can point to differing conclusions. We conclude with proposed guiding principles for the selection and use of discipline disproportionality metrics in evaluations.

我们正在改变种族不均衡吗?评价学校纪律改革的计量挑战
在衡量学校纪律方面的种族差异方面存在挑战,这是确定有效缩小差距的政策和方案改革的重大障碍。本文回顾了关键的测量问题,并提出了一组实证分析作为一个说明性的案例研究。具体而言,我们根据旨在减少种族纪律差异的举措,重新定义了纪律数据的解释。我们还描述了常见的度量标准,并认识到在学科歧化结果评估中使用的几个额外的度量标准。以全州范围内的政策改革为例,我们报告了准实验评估的结果,该评估表明,各种指标可以指向不同的结论。最后,我们提出了在评估中选择和使用学科歧化指标的指导原则。
