Disability & Psychoeducational Studies doctoral student Jaclyn Wolf attended the California Association of School Psychologists conference in San Diego in early November to present her research, Neighborhood risk and unsafe schools in relation to Latinx adolescents' academic engagement: Social cohesion and school respect as protective factors. Her findings indicate neighborhood and school risk, and protective factors are important to Latinx adolescents’ academic engagement.
Wolf's research supports the need for educators to create partnerships between parents, social agencies, and schools. It calls for implementation of school-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and programs to ensure students feel safe and supported at school.
Wolf was awarded a student travel scholarship from the National Latinx Psychological Association to attend and present at this conference.
