Overview

K-12 Career Development: An Integrative Social Justice Approach provides school counselors-in-training with a clear and comprehensive theoretical model to help them build and maintain a K-12 career development program within schools that feature a holistic focus on applied social justice principles. Filling a necessary gap in the literature, this text recognizes that social justice is at the core of all school counseling work and that career development is a major focus of the school counselor. It is designed to empower the next generation of school counselors to provide quality and equitable services to all students. The book begins with coverage of the history of career development in schools, key theories within the discipline, and community-based considerations. Later chapters focus on practical applications, presenting the steps, actions, and programming involved in implementing and sustaining an effective and social justice-oriented K-12 career development program, with interventions provided for specific grade ranges. Closing chapters examine advanced considerations, including social justice and community partnerships, anti-racist practices, trauma-informed career development, data collection for program maintenance and evaluation, and more. An innovative and essential text, K-12 Career Development is an exemplary resource for school counselors-in-training and in practice.
