Efforts by school psychologists to advance social justice in the nation’s schools and society align with NASP’s code Broad Theme I, Respecting the Dignity and Rights of All Persons, and Broad Theme IV, Responsibility to Schools, Families, Communities, the Profession, and Society. The construct social justice can be viewed as a contemporary articulation of the long-recognized ethical principle of justice. NASP leadership defined social justice as:

both a process and a goal that requires action. School psychologists work to ensure the protection of the educational rights, opportunities, and well-being of all children, especially those whose voices have been muted, identities obscured, or needs ignored. Social justice requires promoting non-discriminatory practices and the empowerment of families and communities. School psychologists enact social justice through culturally-responsive professional practice and advocacy to create schools, communities, and systems that ensure equity and fairness for all children and youth.
