Immigrationism-Challenging Resources: 

 

Immigrationism is prejudice multiplied by power used by persons with citizenship in a country against persons without citizenship from that country that excludes them from individual, cultural, and systemic resources (Chen-Hayes, Ockerman, & Mason, 2014). To help close achievement (and opportunity and attainment) gaps, I've highlighed in gray below resources (including evidence-based classroom curricula) that every School Counselor can share with K-12 stakeholders via their School Counseling Program Advisory Councils, School Counseling Core Curriculum classroom lessons, planning for every student, group and individual counseling, and School Counseling Program website resource tabs for students, educators, and families:
