The DDAS framework is based on research evidence that there are eight malleable factors – that is, factors that schools can intentionally work to change – that are causally connected to disciplinary actions in general. At the heart of DDAS is a foundational belief that racial and ethnic disproportionality in discipline (REDD) results when these eight factors interact with implicit bias, racism, and a lack of cultural awareness and understanding. Therefore, by placing implicit bias, anti-racism, and the promotion of cultural awareness and understanding at the heart of the DDAS framework, REDD can be reduced or eliminated.
