School Psychologists as Advocates for Social Justice explores how
school psychologists promote and protect the educational rights of
children, using the author's extensive experience as illustration.
The roles of school psychologists have expanded from strictly
assessment to advising school districts on how to improve school
climate, helping schools face tragedy, and counseling students
dealing with trauma. Combined with pertinent research, personal
narratives describe challenges the author faced while a teacher and
later as a school psychology practitioner and illustrate how
necessary advocacy is in addressing the academic, behavioral, and
emotional needs of students. Careful consideration is given to
equity issues of disability, racism, Islamophobia, and bilingualism
in schools. Combining informative personal experience with
research, emphasizing the importance of children's rights within
the school community, and encouraging effective advocacy with
legislative leaders, this book is a necessity for both new and
seasoned school psychologists.
