A Path Forward: Creating Equity-Centered Community Education for Students with Emotional Disabilities

For decades Black and Brown students have been over classified as students with ED and disproportionately moved to more restrictive settings. This session will focus on the creation of an equity centered, restorative practices focused, inclusive education program designed to support students with emotional disabilities (ED).  The Path program is a partnership between New York University (NYU) researchers, NYU practitioners, and New York City Public Schools that utilizes actionable research to guide school based practices in real time. Participants will learn about the four pillars that have informed the implementation of this school based program and how it has led to healing and inclusion. Participants will walk away with actionable steps that can support any school based program to increase inclusion and equity for our most vulnerable students.
