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.

Kathleen Ness, NCSP, retired, also holds a Master of Arts in the Teaching of English. She advocates for children, schools, and families through NASP and with RESULTS.
