Schools are well-positioned to serve as cultural bridges and conduits to broader U.S. society. When those institutions are inclusive and culturally responsive, they play powerful roles as drivers of acculturation and integration, with significant positive implications for well-being and academic achievement. However, U.S. public education is rooted in antiquated one-size-fits-all policies that are a remnant from a system designed to serve primarily white, U.S.-born students. As a result, schools often perpetuate values associated with assimilation, or eschewing one's identity and culture of origin in favor of becoming wholly \"American.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo address this institutional harm, \u003cem\u003e Culturally Responsive School Social Work with Central American Immigrant Students\u003c\/em\u003e explores the lived experiences, cultural wealth and strength, and broader contextual dynamics that affect Central American immigrant youth. Recognizing the ideal position of school social workers to lead the charge for culturally responsive and affirming clinical and advocacy work, Stephanie Carnes offers practical strategies and techniques for effecting change. Using case studies, reflection exercises, self-care activities, and brainstorming prompts, Carnes identifies what makes Central American immigrant students unique and lays the groundwork for fostering truly culturally responsive school social work practice at both the individual and systemic levels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephanie Carnes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Sswaa Workshop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197805206","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45463162650761,"sku":"9780197805206","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_780db98f-7c3b-47a7-994d-491af00b60c7.jpg?v=1774998629","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/culturally-responsive-school-social-work-with-central-american-immigrant-students-9780197805206","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
