Beyond Ecological Neutrality
School counselors working with undocumented Latinx students have increasingly drawn on Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory, yet this framework carries an epistemological limitation: it treats surrounding systems as structurally neutral, obscuring racialized mechanisms of exclusion and endangerment. This position paper proposes a theoretically integrated alternative grounded in six pillars: LatCrit theory, Menjívar and Abrego's concept of l…
Culturally Responsive School Counseling
I Gotta Represent My Community
This article examines the role of sport as it pertains to Latino male faculty. Specifically, we offer a contribution to the dearth of scholarship at the intersections of sport and how Latino male faculty make sense of their identities and academic journeys. The use of sport as a reference for understanding Latinx faculty identity is for the most part non-existent within education research that is focused on Latino males. Drawing from this context…

Numerous national and state endeavors have advocated for approaches, funding, and programs focused on expanding the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce of the nation and investing in education to cultivate a more diverse and impactful cohort of students who pursue STEM pathways. Educators, support personnel, and policymakers are in a position to engage in discussions about expanding STEM college readiness (STEM-CR) …

Eleven Latinx members of the treatment group in the previous study volunteered for interviews designed to better understand their career and college readiness experiences. Four themes emerged. Three of the themes had not been highlighted in the reviewed profession…

The results include the r…
Utilizing Latinx Cultural Wealth to Create a College-Going Culture in High School
Capitalizing on Latinx students' aspirational, linguistic, social, navigational, familial, resistant, perseverant, and spiritual community cultural wealth (CCW) can help school counselors empower Latinx students. We outline and integrate critical race theory and CCW and demonstrate how communities of color bring assets and protective factors with them to their educational settings. We also examine how school counselors can utilize these eight for…
A Social Constructivist Approach to Preparing School Counselors to Work Effectively in Urban Schools
Putting Racism on the Table
This article presents the findings of a mixed-methods study of a racial equity and cultural competency training and case consultation model for child welfare practitioners. Findings suggest that the model enhanced participants’ capacity for effective practice with diverse populations. A pretest/posttest instrument and evaluation revealed statistically significant increases of participants’ awareness, knowledge, and skills related to culturally di…
