Abstract

The need for a multicultural and social justice leadership approach is critical considering today’s political climate that threatens the academic, career, and personal potential of students who are marginalized in school settings. We offer a leadership framework using the main constructs of the Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies. This leadership framework provides school counselors with a model to address issues of oppression impacting students.
