Abstract

Despite an increase in special education enrollment, a stark gap in high school completion between students with and without disabilities persists. This study examined the impact of Unified Champion Schools (UCS), a Special Olympics program designed to foster social inclusion through three components—Unified Sports, Inclusive Youth Leadership, and Whole School Engagement—on high school graduation rates. Using a novel dataset and a difference-in-differences design, we found that implementing the UCS program increased the graduation rate by 1.1 percentage points for all students and 1.4 percentage points for students with disabilities. The increase in schooling outcomes for students with disabilities in UCS schools also was found to be positively correlated with perceptions about a more socially inclusive school environment.

特奥会统一冠军学校计划和高中完成
尽管特殊教育的招生人数有所增加,但残疾学生和非残疾学生在高中学业完成率方面仍然存在明显差距。这项研究考察了统一冠军学校(UCS)对高中毕业率的影响。UCS是一项特殊奥运会项目,旨在通过统一体育、包容性青年领导和全校参与这三个组成部分促进社会包容。使用一个新颖的数据集和差异中的差异设计,我们发现实施UCS计划使所有学生的毕业率提高了1.1个百分点,残疾学生的毕业率提高了1.4个百分点。研究还发现,在加州大学洛杉矶分校的学校里,残疾学生学业成绩的提高与对更具社会包容性的学校环境的看法呈正相关。
