The new report, part two of EOS' previously released
Psychological Safety Report, explores three core ways that
positive relationships – particularly among students and mentors or
trusted adults – serve as a protective factor for students in
psychologically unsafe environments.
WASHINGTON, May 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Equal Opportunity Schools (EOS), a leading
non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring equitable access to
advanced academic opportunities for all students, is proud to
announce the release of the highly anticipated Positive
Relationships Report, conducted by Dr. Erin
Bogan, Senior Director of Impact and Research at EOS.
Building upon the impactful insights of Dr. Bogan's previous
Psychological Safety Report, which was released last year to
acclaim, the Positive Relationships Report delves even deeper into
understanding the dynamics of psychologically unsafe environments
for students, and how they are successfully navigated via the
support of the positive relationships students have in their lives.
The report explores the crucial role of these positive
relationships as protective factors within scholastic environments,
shedding light on pathways toward fostering safer and more
supportive educational spaces.
The research, born from EOS's commitment to promoting
inclusivity and well-being within educational settings, offers a
much-needed examination of the intricate interplay between
interpersonal connections and student well-being. By uncovering the
pivotal role of positive relationships in mitigating the adverse
effects of psychological unsafety, Dr. Bogan's research equips
educators, administrators, and policymakers with invaluable
insights to cultivate nurturing and empowering school environments
for all learners.
Commenting on the release of the Positive Relationships Report,
Dr. Bogan emphasized its significance in the pursuit of educational
equity: "In environments where students feel psychologically
unsafe, positive relationships serve as beacons of hope and
resilience. Our research underscores the transformative potential
of fostering supportive connections within educational communities,
amplifying opportunities for all students to thrive."
As part of EOS's ongoing commitment to knowledge dissemination
and advocacy for equitable education, the Positive Relationships
Report will be made widely accessible to educators, researchers,
and stakeholders across the educational landscape. Through this
dissemination, EOS aims to spark meaningful dialogue, inspire
actionable change, and drive collective efforts toward building
more inclusive and affirming learning environments for every
student.
