Working together towards social justice, anti-racism, and equity: One-year reflections on the joint commitment from school psychology international and journal of educational and psychological consultation

Abstract

As described in Noltemeyer and Grapin (2020) and Newman et al. (2020), one year ago the Editors and Editorial teams of School Psychology International (SPI) and the Journal of Educational and Psychological Consultation (JEPC) partnered to prioritize anti-racism, social justice, and equity in our journals’ practices and publications. At that time, we committed to eight action items over the subsequent year. In this brief editorial, we report on our ongoing work through the year, reflect on progress for each of the action items, and highlight additional priorities for the future. Although we worked collaboratively with the JEPC leadership team on this initiative, we focus here primarily on SPI processes and outcomes (see Newman et al., in press, for JEPC outcomes).
