Abstract

In this commentary on the special issue Promoting the Positive Development of Black Males: Supporting Social, Behavioral, Emotional, and Academic Success, five current Black male school psychology graduate students highlight the necessity for social justice and equitable practices to be a critical component embedded within school psychology graduate programs to better support positive outcomes for Black males in schools. The authors incorporated their experiences to highlight inequitable practices and cultures within public schools that impact Black boys and provide suggestions for implementing systemic and individualized strength-based supports for Black students in schools. Furthermore, recommendations are discussed to help Black male graduate students prosper and feel safe within school psychology programs.
