Abstract
This paper describes how school psychology faculty and students at Northeastern University (NEU) have infused social justice into their training and learning experiences. At this university, faculty and students collaboratively explore how to advance social justice. The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) training standards, the program’s ecological approach to training, and the program’s core values help guide these activities. The students and faculty employ a three-prong approach to social justice. One prong involves integrating social justice content into courses. The second prong involves engaging students in social justice scholarship and research. Finally, the third prong involves faculty and students collectively acting in concert with their core values and ethical standards for the purpose of improving the lives of others in real world settings. This paper provides examples of social justice projects that were collaboratively developed by faculty and students, including research-based intervention and prevention strategies.
