NYKids Presents at the 2019 Conference of the AERA in Toronto, Canada
By Catherine Kramer
Kristen Wilcox, Catherine Kramer, and Hal Lawson presented findings from the latest study (college and career readiness) at the annual conference of the American Education Research Association.
The presentation focused on how educators in odds-beating secondary schools incorporate positive youth development priorities (PYD) into the structures and practices of the school.
Use of PYD facilitated student engagement, agency and identity development.
