This book focuses on queering texts with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender (LGBT) themes in collaboration with students - young to young adult - and their teachers - both pre- and in- service. It strives to generate knowledge and deeper understandings of the pedagogical implications for working with LGBT-themed texts in classrooms across grade levels. The contributions in this book offer explicit implications for pedagogical practice, considering literature for children and young adults, and work in elementary school, high school, and university classrooms and schools. They give insights on exploring how queer and trans theories might inform the teaching and learning of English language arts with great respect to people who live their lives beyond hegemonic heternormativity and cisnormativity. They provide wisdom on how to provoke, foster, and navigate complicated conversations about sexuality, queer desire, gender creativity, gender independence, and trans inclusivity. In addition, they show how all of these are informed by an epistemological and ontological understanding of gender embodiment as a process of becoming. They offer insights into how queer and trans theories, as informed and driven by trans, non-binary and gender diverse scholars themselves, can move all of us beyond LGBTQ-inclusivity and inform reading, discussing, teaching, and learning in all of the classrooms and school contexts where we live and work. This volume was originally published as a special issue of Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education.

RECOMMENDED BY LORD MICHAEL CASHMAN IN UK PARLIAMENT, APRIL 2019 'Essential and valuable reading for every teacher and school leader.' Peter Tatchell 'A huge stride towards genuine organisational change.' Dr Joseph Hall 'An outstanding book.' Professor Jonathan Glazzard Celebrating Difference is an inspiring handbook for LGBT+ inclusion, aimed at all primary and secondary teachers and leaders. Written by Shaun Dellenty, internationally celebrated lead in LGBT+ inclusion in education, it is filled with practical advice to enable schools to bring about organisational change to ensure the safety, success, mental health and wellbeing of all pupils and staff. This ground-breaking book examines the roots and impact of identity-based prejudice in schools, drawing on Shaun's own experiences of homophobic bullying and his subsequent career as a teacher and school leader. The core of the book is based on Shaun's award-winning training programme Inclusion For All, endorsed by the Department for Education, presenting an effective approach to LGBT+ inclusion at a whole-school level. This includes practical strategies to eradicate prejudice, prevent bullying, embrace diversity and improve whole-school outcomes such as attendance and attainment, as well as mindfulness techniques and ideas for INSET training sessions and school assemblies. Case studies and interviews with pupils and teachers who have experienced the Inclusion For All process and unique research insights from Dr Joseph Hall, University of Leeds, demonstrate how the strategies work in practice. Clear guidance will also enable schools to comply with Ofsted and statutory equality legislation, and help them to teach children about British values, basic human rights and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). Written with warmth, humour and compassion, this is a must-read guide for all teachers and school leaders who wish to promote inclusion, celebrate difference and ensure safer futures for all young people.

Young people today face unprecedented pressures and temptations. Statistics related to suicide have hit an all-time high. To say that many teenagers and young adults are in crisis is not an understatement. They are exposed to influences that try to make death seem intriguing and appealing. Sadie Robertson sees and understands that this is happening and has written Live to illustrate clearly God's alternative. Where the world offers death in the form of hopelessness, negativity, loneliness, rejection, and other experiences, Jesus offers abundant life.

Robertson has a keen understanding of the issues facing young people today and knows that many are desperate for hope that they can live with strength, confidence, conviction, and vibrant commitment to God. The world entices daily with choices that lead to misery. Readers need to know that it's possible to resist the draw of the world and follow God into a life of fulfillment and adventure.

The book includes material on overcoming jealousy, finding confidence, dealing with haters, waiting on God, living in victory instead of defeat, discovering the power of words, and knowing how to tell the difference between what leads to life and what leads to death-so young people can make the best choices.

With a social media audience of more than 6 million, Robertson has become the leading voice of hope, courage, and truth for her generation. In Live, she reminds readers that there's a big difference between being alive and knowing how to truly live. To be alive is something that happens to you. But to truly live is something you get to choose each day. As Robertson says, "When you truly learn to live the life God offers, your whole existence becomes a verb."

Including full-color photography and high design, Live shows teens and young adults through story and biblical truths how to enjoy a rich and rewarding life by choosing God's way over the world's influence. Moments of decision greet everyone. Some of those decisions are minor and others are life altering, but all serve as stepping stones to peace, joy, and fullness or to disappointment and emptiness. Robertson is passionate about inspiring a generation to live with bold confidence and faith every day.

Live releases in conjunction with Robertson's 16-city speaking tour. As a speaker, influencer, and media personality, Robertson has enjoyed sold-out events across the country on previous tours. A popular blogger at LiveOriginal.com, the founder of a line of creative clothing, and a tireless advocate for underprivileged youth, Robertson is known for living out her message with passion and joy. Her remarkable ability to relate to her peers encourages them to view her as a role model, and her call for them to live uncompromised godly lives has gained her the respect of parents, pastors, and ministry leaders much older than she is.
