LGBT Issues in the Classroom
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons, their advocates and their detractors are in the news almost daily. Teachers of English are known for providing safe places where students can talk about sensitive social issues. Students remain interested in learning about marginalized groups and about issues of gender and sexuality. How do English-language arts teachers at all levels include age-appropriate reading, writing, speaking and listening on gender and sexuality in their classrooms? How can teachers and students learn more about issues that confront LGBT persons? What resources are available to enhance the discussion? What are some workable models and success stories?
