Enhancing antiracism through educator professional development: A scoping review of U.S. intervention studies
In this scoping review, we identify and analyze antiracist professional development intervention studies in the United States for school staff to determine current areas of focus and identify future areas of research. We conducted comprehensive searches of peer-reviewed and gray literature using defined inclusion criteria. A total of 27 studies met the criteria and were included in the review. Most of these studies use qualitative methodologies a…
The role of Research‐Practice Ambassadors in strengthening socially just and equitable partnership processes
Research‐Practice Partnerships seek to close the research‐practice gap through developing collaborative, authentic partnerships between researchers and community members. Our team has leveraged Research‐Practice Ambassadors to support socially just and equitable partnership processes in schools. We describe how the Ambassadors can support these types of long‐term partnerships by building trusting relationships, uplifting practitioner voice and li…
Student Homelessness in High School: Prevalence, Individual Characteristics, and Profiles of Risk and Multidomain Functioning
We estimated the prevalence of high school homelessness and examined associations among homelessness, demographic factors, victimization experiences, and poor functioning using variable- and person-centered approaches. Anonymous self-report survey data from the 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System represented approximately 6.5 million high school students in 29 regions of the United States. An estimated 9.32% of students experienced homel…
Unaccompanied homelessness among high school students across ten states: Prevalence and risk in multiple domains
Unaccompanied homelessness during adolescence is a risk factor for varied poor outcomes, yet enumeration efforts struggle to provide feasible results and few analyses consider how risk might differ for this group. We consider data from the 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey from 10 states that asked about unaccompanied homelessness and sleeping arrangement. Students who experienced any form of homelessness were at higher risk for poor outcomes and o…
Pilot study of an anti-racist professional development: Effects on educators’ multicultural attitudes and efficacy
Purpose This study aims to understand the impact of a pilot of the actions against racism (AAR) intervention, aimed at enhancing educators’ multicultural efficacy and attitudes in a mid-Atlantic K-8 charter school. Design/methodology/approach AAR included eight sessions delivered over one school year. Experienced facilitators led these sessions, focusing on combating racism, prejudice and discrimination. Of the 84 school staff, 56 completed a bas…
Adversity in adolescence: Modeling risk for different purposes
The impact of school climate in social‐normative expectations in low and high SES schools
This study examined the associations among race/ethnicity, school climate, and social‐normative expectations (expectations about peers' future achievement) in high and low socioeconomic status (SES) schools, with a particular focus on school climate as a process that might influence social‐normative expectations. Results showed that more positive perceptions of school climate were significantly associated with higher levels of social‐normative ex…
Adolescent homelessness: Evaluating victimization risk based on LGBT identity and sleeping location
BACKGROUND: Teen homelessness confers risk for victimization experiences, and teens that identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) are at an even greater risk of experiencing victimization and homelessness. METHODS: Using the 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, we evaluated the association of experiencing homelessness with physical and sexual victimization and we examined whether LGBT identification moderated this relati…
Risky sexual behavior and STI testing among teens experiencing homelessness
Student Self‐Reported Positive Purpose Over Two Years in Urban Middle Schools
We used Developmental Systems Theory as a framework for understanding the role of contextual factors in the development of purpose in urban adolescents. The sample included primarily low-socioeconomic students of color attending urban middle schools (n = 2,629; 10-16 years of age). Longitudinal data were collected at four time points across two years. We used hierarchical linear modeling to model change in purpose. On average, purpose declined ov…
Social-Normative Expectations Mediates School Climate’s Association With Academic Achievement in Latino Middle School Students
Many Latino students miss opportunities to develop their full potential in U.S. schools. Increasing attention is being paid to the malleable, nonacademic, factors that can affect student learning. The current study sought to evaluate the impact of school climate on Language Arts grade for Latino students in a large, low-income, urban middle school. In addition, the novel construct of Social-Normative Expectations, student perceptions of school-wi…
The increasing impact of socioeconomics and race on standardized academic test scores across elementary, middle, and high school
For students and schools, the current policy is to measure success via standardized testing. Yet the immutable factors of socioeconomic status (SES) and race have, consistently, been implicated in fostering an achievement gap. The current study explores, at the school-level, the impact of these factors on test scores. Percentage of students proficient for Language and Math was analyzed from 452 schools across the state of New Jersey. By high scho…
