Managing the Dynamics of Differences
The results from the Pearson correlation analysis showed a significant positive
relationship between the score of the essential element "managing the dynamics of differences"
and the discipline rates for Black students, as measured by out-of-school suspensions (r = .293, p
= .147, 2-tailed), in school suspensions (r = .0301, p = 0.134, 2-tailed), and total suspensions (r =
.298, p = 0.139, 2-tailed). This implies an increase in the managing the dynamics of differences
score leads to a corresponding increase in disciplinary actions against Black students. Even
though there is a relationship, it was not found to be statistically significant at the 0.05 level for
out-of-school suspensions, in school suspensions, or total suspensions.
The Pearson correlation analysis showed there is a negative correlation between the score
of the essential element managing the dynamics of differences and discipline rates for White
students as measured by out-of-school suspensions (r = -0.153, p = 0.147, 2-tailed); in-school
suspensions (r = -0.112, p = 0.456, 2-tailed), and total suspensions (r = -0.070, p = 0.734, 2-
tailed). This means an increase in the managing the dynamics of differences score is associated
with a decrease in disciplinary actions against White students. However, none of these
correlations were statistically significant at a 0.05 level of significance. Table 13 presents the
results of the Pearson correlation analysis conducted to examine the relationship between
managing the dynamics of differences and the discipline rates of both Black and White students.Table 13
