Rate My Professor Patrice Leverett

Leverett's collaboration with the Clark County School District represents one of the largest-scale implicit bias training initiatives in schools, equipping over 4,000 teachers and administrators with tools to recognize and mitigate racial bias in discipline, where African American students, 15 percent of enrollment, account for nearly 45 percent of suspensions and expulsions. This work garnered her the 2021 Community-Based Research Award from UNLV's Office of Community Engagement. Further accolades include the 2022 Anti-Racism Action Grant from APA Division 16 to support participant action research on decolonial practices in school psychology, and selection as a 2022 Early-Career Scholar by the Society for the Study of School Psychology. Her peer-reviewed publications encompass 'Decolonizing School Psychology Research: A Systematic Literature Review' (Journal of Social Issues, 2022), 'The Effect of Program Mission on Students: Developing a Program Assessment System for Social Justice Training' with Samuel Song (Journal of School Psychology Training and Pedagogy, 2021), and 'Educational Equity Perspectives in Response to the Black Lives Matter Movement: A Road Map for Nevada' (Policy Issues in Nevada Education, 2021). These efforts underscore her impact on fostering equitable educational environments and informing policy for diverse student populations.
