This practical book provides researchers with strategies for conducting socially just school-based research. This comprehensive text provides a resource for those interested in conducting school counseling research within school settings. The volume includes a wealth of knowledge from expert scholars in the field to equip researchers with the conceptual knowledge and practical skills to conduct rigorous intervention research with schools.

School counseling researchers, counselor education doctoral students, district personnel, and those that review research will have a deep and rich source to support their evolving collaborative research in schools. The editors organize the book to walk readers through the process of creating successful research partnerships with schools that will result in ethical outcomes from their research efforts. Readers are guided through the process of conceptualizing ethical and socially just research in partnership with schools, how to create strong research questions and match those questions with corresponding data analysis approaches, and practical suggestions for how to do the research. The book concludes with steps for the researcher to successfully disseminate their research findings to scholars, school partners and stakeholders, and school counseling practitioners.
