Cultural humility as a form of social justice: Promising practices for global school psychology training

Abstract

In an increasingly diverse global context in which school psychologists strive to ensure appropriate educational services for all, addressing social injustice is critical. Cultural humility can serve as a link between cultural diversity and social justice, providing a deep awareness that allows school psychologists to understand themselves and their interactions with diverse students and families. Additionally, cultural humility provides a lens for framing advocacy necessary to address social justice concerns. This article reviews the literature on cultural humility and suggests promising practices for training school psychologists as culturally humble practitioners.
