Alfredo J. Artiles, Ryan C. Harris Professor of Special Education and Dean of the Graduate College at Arizona State University, delivered the 14th annual AERA Brown Lecture in Education Research on October 19.
Artiles' lecture, “Re-envisioning Equity Research: Disability Identification Disparities as a Case in Point," examines longstanding challenges and risks associated with conducting and using research on complex equity problems, focusing on research on disability disparities that are historically linked to demographic markers such as race, social class, and gender.

Multiple, ongoing crises—from the pandemic to systemic racism—are contributing to a collective and individual trauma that impacts the mental health, wellness, and education of students across the nation. These challenges also present an opportunity to redesign schools into restorative spaces where young people are known and nurtured. Research shows several practices school leaders can adopt to increase equity and help students thrive.
What would it mean to care for young people as whole people, not half-formed beings? How does knowing oneself allow us to find a resonant frequency with others?

With an unprecedented mental health crisis resulting from the ongoing pandemic, social-emotional learning (SEL) remains at the forefront of school systems’ work to ensure students’ health, safety, and well-being. Below are eight strategies (and linked resources) for successful SEL implementation to
The theme of Public Schools Week 2022 is “Creating Safe, Equitable and Engaging Public Schools,” which directly aligns to the AIR-authored volume, Creating Safe, Equitable, Engaging Schools. AIR’s David Osher and Mary Cathryn Ricker from the Shanker Institute provide fresh insights on what safe, equitable, and engaging means in our current context.
Strong relationships with teachers and school staff can dramatically enhance students’ level of motivation and therefore promote learning. Students who have access to more strong relationships are more academically engaged, have stronger social skills, and experience more positive behavior.
Use this online version of our popular Relationship Mapping Strategy for your school, community organization, or religious group to help ensure that everyone has a strong connection to someone else during challenging times.
Social and emotional skills, habits, and mindsets can set students up for success. This two-part study explores how SEL-focused programs can prepare teachers from the university to the classroom.
This paper discusses an innovative approach to professional development focused on adult SEL and well-being called the LiberatED Fellowship. The Fello…
School climate surveys are frequently used to collect information about student experiences in school. Less is known about how educators use survey data after survey administration. This paper explores one school district’s critical use of evidence to promote equitable change. We conducted eight semi-structured interviews with district and school leaders to investigate their uses of evidence. Through our qualitative, reflexive thematic analysis, we generated six themes: (1) using evidence to provide a common language; (2) bringing attention to trends to shift staff understanding of problems, (3) making structural changes, (4) planning for professional learning, (5) following up directly with students, and (6) engaging with the community. Findings illustrate how education leaders can apply a critical lens to their generation and use of evidence. We explore how the strategic use of evidence is needed to advance the broader goal of fostering school change and improving school climate for all students.
A student’s performance under conditions of high support and low threat differs substantially from how they perform without such support or when feeling threatened. To create identity-safe classrooms where students can learn and thrive, schools can promote trust and interpersonal connection; create purposeful communities of care and consistency; use restorative practices to promote understanding, voice, and responsibility; and recognize diversity as an asset.
The science of learning shows that addressing student behavior with restorative practices rather than zero-tolerance discipline is essential for students’ healthy development and academic success. Using examples from districts across the country, LPI researchers discuss key lessons on what is needed to successfully implement restorative approaches to create safe, inclusive schools that promote well-being and connectedness.
Shawn Ginwright’s healing-centered engagement model builds on social-emotional learning and trauma-informed care to provide educators and school leaders with tools for healing.
Create Peer Groups We know that ensuring that teachers have dedicated time to work together — to build curriculum, share lesson ideas, and strategize about how best to support individual students — often results in improved academic success of students.
Johnny, an eighth grader, hasn’t been able to stop fighting all year and tells all who’ll listen that he feels triggered daily, often in non-threatening situations. Marisela, a fourth grader, finds it difficult to keep friends, and is increasingly hard to draw out in class.
