![]() | The Educator's Guide to LGBT+ Inclusion : A Practical Resource for K-12 Teachers, Administrators, and School Support Staff The rates of bullying, truancy due to lack of safety in schools, and subsequent suicidality for LGBT+ youth are exponentially higher than for non-LGBT+ youth. As a result, many American K-12 students are suffering needlessly and many school leaders are unsure of what to do. This book solves that problem. Setting out best practices and professional guidance for creating LGBT+ inclusive learning in schools, this approachable and easy to follow book guides teachers, educators, administrators, and school staff toward appropriate and proven ways to create safer learning environments, update school policies, enhance curricula, and better support LGBT+ youth as they learn. Kryss Shane, MS, MSW, LSW, LMSW (she/her), known as "America's Leading LGBT Expert," has Masters degrees in both social work (specializing in sexual and gender minorities) and in education (specializing in curriculum and instruction). In this book, Shane utilizes these degrees and 25+ years of experience to guide readers to better understanding of the LGBT+ youth community and through opportunities to grow as educators, administrators, and school staff. Her work is known for being approachable and easy to follow, ensuring that every reader has access to the most updated research and knowledge as well as a clear roadmap to improve their own school. |
