An Unwavering Commitment To Culturally Responsive
Sustaining Education & Social Emotional Learning
By Dawn Brooks-DeCosta and Ife Lenard

The Metropolitan Center for Research on Equity and the Transformation of Schools
TMH and TMALS partnership is recognized by the Voices in Urban Education Journal as effective SEL in the classroom! Academic analysis of both the SEL and CR-SE practices at the urban NYC Thurgood Marshall Academy Lower School (TMALS), and their partnership with the Meeting House Afterschool social skill building program demonstrated that the process of providing social-emotional supports with a culturally responsive lens was beneficial and successful among students.
Congratulations to the authors, Dawn Brookes-DeCosta and Ife Lenard. They suggest that without a culturally responsive-sustaining lens, social and emotional support may lack the trust and connection needed to help students, unless it is in the context of acknowledging their unique identities and cultures.
