Abstract

Changing demographics, multiple worldviews, and cultural plurality are major influences in the career development process for diverse students. As school counselors are considered social justice advocates, they should utilize differentiated strategies when working with transgender and gender-expansive students (TGE). This conceptual paper provides an overview of TGE individuals’ challenges, discusses the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) stance on working with this population, and highlights a career development group counseling curriculum for TGE students at the secondary (middle/high) education level.
