“I Want to Create Change”: Youth Participatory Action Research as Critical Service-Learning
Critical service-learning is intended to address some of the critiques of traditional service-learning, such as that it benefits the university more than the community and offers temporary or band-aid solutions to endemic social issues. However, scholars have emphasized the logistical and financial challenges of developing critical service-learning programs. This article describes a case study of a service-learning project in which undergraduate …
Cultural Responsiveness and Teacher-Student Relationships in Urban Charter Public Schools
Cultural responsiveness and teacher-student relationships are important to establishing a healthy, positive school climate. Few studies have examined the relationship between teacher-student relationships and cultural responsiveness. Also, little is known about the moderating effect the number of ethnic minority school teachers has on culturally responsive practices and teacher-student relationships in schools with predominantly low-income Black …
Understanding Teacher Self-Efficacy to Address Students’ Social-Emotional Needs in the Covid-19 Pandemic
Teachers are returning to schools during the COVID-19 pandemic under the weight of unprecedented stressors to engage a student body that has also experienced stress and trauma. In this study, we examined how confident 454 teachers (55% Black) from 41 charter schools in New Orleans, Louisiana, were in their ability to address students’ social-emotional needs upon their return to school. Results showed that Black teachers were more likely to report…
Centering trauma‐informed approaches in schools within a social justice framework
Growing evidence establishing the prevalence and educational consequences of childhood trauma has led to a national focus on equipping schools to support the specific needs of students who have experienced trauma. Despite clear evidence of disproportionate trauma exposure among students of color, most models of trauma‐informed schools do not explicitly address the intersection of race and trauma within their system‐level efforts to help staff rea…
The Experience of Covid-19 and Its Impact on Teachers’ Mental Health, Coping, and Teaching
The COVID-19 pandemic has placed significant demands on teachers. The current study uses needs assessment data gathered from 454 New Orleans charter school teachers (81% women; 55% Black; 73% regular education) during the first months of the pandemic. On average, teachers experienced seven stressors (out of 18 surveyed) and four protective factors (out of six surveyed). Teachers who experienced more stressors reported worse mental health and foun…
Validation of the Attitudes Related to Trauma-Informed Care Scale (Artic)
The ARTIC is a direct, efficient, and cost-effective measure of attitudes related to TIC. This study further demonstrates the reliability of the ARTIC and provides some support for its validity. Evaluating the favorability of staff attitudes about TIC plays a key role in ensuring readiness for, effectiveness of, and sustainability of TIC in systems.

Where We Live: The Unexpected Influence of Urban Neighborhoods on the Academic Performance of African American Adolescents
Adolescents who live in low-income neighborhoods face numerous unique challenges. Examining their resilience in multiple contexts sheds light on what contributes to the diverse outcomes of these youth. The current study examines how adolescents' reports of structural and experiential neighborhood characteristics buffered the impact of exposure to community violence on academic performance. A total of 206 African American high school students comp…
Challenges Associated with Childhood Exposure to Severe Natural Disasters: Research Review and Clinical Implications
Exposure to community violence and post-traumatic stress symptoms: Mediating factors
Children's perceptions of safety and family conflict were examined as mediators of the relation between exposure to community violence and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Results indicated that exposure to community violence was related to perceptions of decreased neighborhood safety and increased family conflict, and that this, in turn, mediated the impact of violence exposure on children's post-traumatic stress symptoms. Implications for resear…
