Description
School psychologists can promote positive development across the lifespan beginning by fostering social justice in early childhood education. However, social justice might be underconsidered by practitioners as being important to school psychology practice with the early childhood population. This conversation is intended to provide an opportunity for school psychologists to discuss how the principles of social justice might be applied and promoted when working with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
