Publisher's summary

Read by the author, this book guides PreK-12 educators and school-based clinicians on how to embed socially just practices into their day-to-day roles to achieve more equitable outcomes. Social Justice in Schools uses vivid vignettes and personal reflections to demystify complex concepts. It pinpoints ways educators can better understand their racially and ethnically minoritized students, reflect on and challenge implicit bias in assessment and decision making, and build meaningful home–school relationships. Supplemental materials include discussion questions, resources for professional learning, and reproducible handouts and forms that can be downloaded and printed. This title is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas.

Critic reviews

"This essential book will engage educators across disciplines and at all levels—from preservice teachers to practicing school psychologists. It provides insight into what social justice means in the context of schooling and how educators' daily practices can facilitate social justice for the children, families, and communities they serve. Barrett has created an easy-to-read book that is a call to action for educators concerned with equity, fairness, and opportunity for marginalized students."—Sherrie L. Proctor, PhD, School Psychology Program, Queens College, City University of New York

"While many social justice books are written from a theoretical perspective that leaves the reader wondering what to do next, Barrett’s book focuses on knowledge and tools that educators can use right away. Case studies, vignettes, resources, and reflection questions aid in understanding specific ways to enact anti-racist ideals. Using the 'Five C's of Equity' described in the book will allow school teams to change practices, policies, and behavior to ensure equitable outcomes. A 'must read'!"—Andria Amador, EdD, NCSP, Senior Director of Behavioral Health Services, Boston Public Schools

"Rooted in Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, this book provides an accessible, resourceful, and thorough framework for centering social justice work in school contexts. Drawing on literature from multiple disciplines and from his own positionalities and life experiences as a Black professional, Barrett challenges the reader to critically reflect about power and to unlearn deficit frames. He invites all educators to a journey of creative co-imagination of systemic change at the level of policy, assessment, and in learning spaces, proposing a transformation that can center all languages and ways of learning."—María Rosa Brea-Spahn, PhD, CCC-SLP, Department of Communicative Sciences and Disorders, New York University
