Neal, La Vonne I.; McCray, Audrey Davis; Webb-Johnson, Gwendolyn; Bridgest, Scott T.
Journal of Special Education, v37 n1 p49-57 Spr 2003
A study examined perceptions of 136 middle school teachers of African American males' aggression, achievement, and need for special education services based on cultural movement styles. Teachers perceived students with African American movement styles as lower in achievement, higher in aggression, and more likely to need special education services. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
