Create conditions that lead to success for ALL students and confront conditions that create opportunity gaps. This new edition of a bestseller shows school counselors how to incorporate principles of social justice, antiracism, equity, and advocacy into their practice and addresses the reasons why some students are more likely to encounter challenges at school due to racism, sexism, heterosexism, and classism. It includes: vignettes, strategies, activities, and reflective individual and group study questions; a framework for how school counselors can mitigate the impact of negative factors that hamper academic performance and healthy development, especially among students of color; and six functions of school counselors that move schools toward more just practices and, ultimately, to higher test scores and increased student achievement. Written for both preservice and in-service school counselors and those who support them, this essential guide prepares readers to take an active role in creating equitable conditions for success for all students.
