High impact practices are evidence-based educational techniques that have been proven to improve student learning, retention, and success. The circle, also known as a discussion circle, is a crucial high impact practice associated with positive outcomes for urban youth. Circles are powerful tools for enhancing communication, promoting emotional support and healing, and encouraging problem-solving and creativity. In High Impact Practices with Urban Youth: Circles at the Center: A Guidebook for Practitioners and Scholar-Activists, Yan Dominic Searcy and Troy Harden offer research-based best practices in an accessible format to bridge the gap between practitioners and researchers working to improve the life outcomes of urban youth. Targeted at assisting front-line practitioners, program directors, and those training to be practitioners, this book reflects Searcy and Harden's combined over five decades of work with urban youth and imparts high impact practices to influence interventions and program design. Each chapter begins with a brief narrative from a discussion circle, reflective of the authors' interactions with youth or program staff that is germane to a high impact practice. The best youth work combines art and science, emotion and skill. High Impact Practices with Urban Youth effectively blends both to ground the next generation of interventions aimed at improving youth program outcomes, whether the programs are targeting juvenile justice, health promotion, education, sports, leadership, or mentoring.
