School-Family-Community Partnerships for Educational Success and Equity for Black Male Students
Griffin, Dana; Williams, Joseph M.; Bryan, Julia
Professional School Counseling, v25 n1 part 4 2021
Throughout the past decade, scholars have argued that the persistent achievement gap between Black male students and their White peers is a result of unequal and inadequate educational opportunities instead of inherent differences in their capability or character. School counselors can help support Black males by using equity-focused school-family-community partnerships that provide a strong network of support, resources, and increased educational opportunities--all of which contribute to positive academic outcomes and help eliminate barriers caused by systemic racism. In this article, we apply a step-by-step partnership process model to a case in which a school counselor used partnerships to advocate for Black students facing racism and educational inequities in a school district.
