How can policy makers, administrators, and educators implement policies and practices for students related to Justice, Equity, Anti-Racism, and Inclusion?\u00a0 Dr. Rios provides policy makers, administrators, and educators practical strategies for being reflexive about anti-racism and for having courageous conversations with colleagues and constituents.\u00a0 Research on students who overcome adversity to successfully navigate the higher education pipeline has demonstrated that resilience and prosperity are often actuated by an emotionally-relevant, anti-racist educator.\u00a0 Dr. Rios will discuss how educators can play a powerful role in guiding students that have been left behind.\u00a0 He will provide examples of practical strategies that work in helping these at-promise students succeed in education.\u00a0 Dr. Rios presents insights from his research on cultural responsiveness, emotional support, anti-racism and resilience. This talk provides the audience with an overall picture of the importance of emotional support in the lives of marginalized students and demonstrates practical strategies for implementing this support in everyday school practices.<\/p>\n\t
