Erica Davis

Across her more than 20 years as an educator in the New York City public schools, Erica has worn many hats. In schools across both Brooklyn and Manhattan she has taught a range of both lower and upper grades, supported teachers as an instructional coach, and served as a school building leader. Her studies at Washington University and Brooklyn College laid the groundwork for her teaching, particularly in math, social studies and social-emotional learning.  After graduating from the Principals Institute at Bank Street College she put her leadership in action as an Assistant Principal and as a centrally-based administrator at the Brooklyn North Field Support Center, supporting the instructional needs of diverse schools across New York City.  She is currently the Interim Acting Principal of PS 261 in Boreum Hill Brooklyn.  An important part of her work has always been around deepening the social-emotional learning of children and striving to ensure that all children feel seen by their teachers, their community, and the curriculum. It is her desire to deepen the restorative practices in schools that brought her to working with TRC.
