“…Over the last several years, school psychologists have becoming increasingly focused on disrupting institutionalized racism in the context of their field and larger communities (García-Vázquez et al, 2020). The underrepresentation of practitioners and trainees from R/E minoritized backgrounds undoubtedly poses a grave threat to the profession's ability to advance this work.…”

This study investigated current school psychology students' perspectives on recruiting and orienting prospective trainees to the profession. Two hundred sixty-two student members of the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) responded to two open-ended survey items regarding: (a) information they wished they had known prior to beginning their training and (b) their beliefs about effective recruitment practices for increasing racial and ethnic (R/E) diversity in the profession. Qualitative analyses revealed that approximately one-third of participants from R/E minoritized backgrounds reported wishing they had known more about the roles and functions of school psychologists. Participants also generated a wide range of potentially valuable recruitment strategies. Implications for improving recruitment practices are discussed. Impact and ImplicationsSchool psychology graduate students, and students from racial and ethnic (R/E) minoritized backgrounds in particular, reported wishing they knew more about the assessment-focused role of practitioners before applying to their training programs. They also believed that outreach in college settings as well as promoting general awareness of the profession and its emphasis on cultural diversity was essential for increasing R/E representation in the field. These findings may be helpful for expanding and diversifying the school psychology workforce.

“…Herein, we effectively "double down" on our previous contention that health and educational disparities are fundamentally linked to -and natural outcomes therefore -of our country's historical beginnings that were rooted in systemic oppression and hegemonic violence (Song et al, 2020). The tragic and unjust disparities are the result of a complex interplay among systems of oppression that intersect and create interlocking systems of oppression among the various cultural ecological factors at play (Crenshaw, 1989(Crenshaw, , 1991Combahee River Collective, 1986;García-Vázquez et al, 2020;Lazarus et al, 2021;Sullivan et al, 2020;Velez & Spencer, 2018).…”
