Supplemental Questions
  1. School psychologists work to ensure the protection of the educational rights, opportunities, and well-being of all children, families, and communities, especially those whose voices have been muted, identities obscured or needs ignored (NASP 2021). Please write a one-page reflection on your professional social justice journey and advocacy. In the coming year, share how you will engage in advocacy through active listening, perspective taking, and critical reflexivity. Consider how you will navigate resistance and challenges in promoting social justice within your role as a School Psychologist.
