School Psychologists as Advocates for Social Justice

• Focuses on the relationships, skills, and resources school psychologists need to foster educational equity
• Combines informative personal narratives with research, gives historical background to explain why schools and school psychologists need support, and devotes attention to the skills needed for effective advocacy with legislative leaders
• Examples are drawn from the author’s teaching experiences in an all-Black elementary school during racial desegregation, in a private American school in Pakistan, in a migrant school for Hispanic students in North Dakota, and from three decades of school psychology experience as an itinerant rural school psychologist
