75.025 - Achieving Social Justice for LGBTQQ and Gender-Creative People in Schools: Learning From the Stories of Students, Families, Teachers, Administrators and Other School Personnel, and Community Members
Mon, April 20, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Marriott, Floor: Sixth Level, LincolnshireSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans* queer, questioning (LGBTQQ) and gender creative young people suffer hostility and limited access to educational attainment and well-being in schools. Research suggests that access to social, curricular, and adult support can significantly change this situation and make things better for LGBTQQ students, and all students, in schools. Nonetheless, many adults in schools insist that they cannot, or will not, make these changes. This panel of teachers and researchers shares research they have conducted within the context of a long-term teacher inquiry group aimed at understanding how LGBTQQ families and students experience schools in ways that are supportive or not, and why some adults feel able to do this work while others do not.
