Social justice advocacy is an ethical mandate for many professions in schools and community settings. We will define social justice and discuss how to center social justice in practice. We will also discuss culturally responsive multi-tiered systems of support, cultural adaptations to interventions, and the development and implementation of culturally relevant interventions.
