Abstract

Structural racism—implicitly discriminatory practices and policies that have negative consequences for individuals and groups of color—is a powerful force in contemporary American society, including in our public education system. This article explores the potential for school social workers (SSWers) to address structural racism through the use of the national school social work (SSW) practice model as a tool to guide systemic, ecologically oriented intervention within schools and educational policy spaces. In this article, the authors review data on racial disparities in educational attainment, placement, opportunity, and discipline practices that have led to increased attention to structural racism in schools. They then discuss and describe the national SSW practice model and its suitability for the structural interventions in response to structural racism in schools. Finally, they provide recommendations for how SSWers can respond effectively to this pressing social problem. These recommendations include a list of resources for addressing structural racism.

学校中的结构性种族主义:国家学校社会工作实践模式的视角

结构性种族主义——对个人和有色人种群体产生负面影响的隐性歧视性做法和政策——是当代美国社会的一股强大力量，包括在我们的公共教育系统中。本文探讨了学校社会工作者（SSWers）通过使用国家学校社会工作（SSW）实践模式作为指导学校和教育政策空间内系统、生态干预的工具来解决结构性种族主义的潜力。在这篇文章中，作者回顾了教育程度、安置、机会和纪律实践方面的种族差异数据，这些数据导致人们越来越关注学校中的结构性种族主义。然后，他们讨论并描述了国家SSW实践模式及其对应对学校结构性种族主义的结构性干预措施的适用性。最后，他们为SSWers如何有效应对这一紧迫的社会问题提供了建议。这些建议包括一份解决结构性种族主义问题的资源清单。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
