AbstractThe purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the factors affecting elementary teacher’s ability to understand the academic needs of their racially, culturally, and ethnically diverse special education students and the ways in which their values and beliefs influenced their use of culturally responsive practices in the special education classroom. The findings from this study are significant because they could add to the knowledge base of strategies to close or eliminate the achievement gap of racially, culturally, and ethnically diverse students in special education programs. Furthermore, these experiences may provide an additional opportunity for local educational agencies (LEAS) to examine the impact of culturally responsive teaching practices on the achievement of RCED students in the special education classroom.

Collecting and analyzing data to write Present Levels of Performance and IEP goals is a critical component of the special education process. By systematically gathering information on a student's academic, behavioral, social, and functional skills, educators can develop a comprehensive understanding of the student's strengths and areas in need of improvement. This data-driven approach helps to ensure that IEP goals are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART), promoting student success and progress. Additionally, collecting ongoing data allows educators to monitor the effectiveness of interventions and make informed decisions about modifying instructional strategies or accommodations. Ultimately, meticulously documenting present levels of performance and setting appropriate IEP goals based on objective data not only complies with legal requirements but also empowers educators to provide targeted support tailored to each individual student's unique needs.
