Poster presented at the International Conference on Urban Education in Cancun, Mexico
Motivated by the need to counter negative social influences and maladaptive behaviors, this study aims to address the impact of living with and experiencing violence in schools. While a vast body of literature discusses the prevalence and consequences of school violence, there is a significant lack of solution-oriented research that provides actionable strategies for effectively addressing and preventing these issues.
Guided by the question of whether collaborative school environments reduce maladaptive behaviors in Black and Latino male students, this study bridges theory and practice in diverse high school settings. Using an educational equity framework and evidence-based interventions, it aims to offer insights that could reshape practices and policies on school violence, supporting historically marginalized student populations.
