Abolitionist School Counseling is Practicing the World We Want and Need
Abstract
Chapter 3 introduces the ASCC theory of change: Dismantle-Change-Build-Connect, which is our call to the profession of school counseling to rethink traditional school counseling and move toward embracing abolition. We describe each part of the theory of change, offering a visual, commitments, and active beliefs for each of Dismantle, Change, Build, and Connect. We end with reflective questions and experiments for school counselors to put into practice.
