The importance of creating safe spaces for lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) students in the
school environment cannot be overstated. It is one of the most
prominent issues facing school professionals today, and its success
has lasting, positive effects on the entire student body. Drawing
on the expertise of researchers and practitioners, "Creating Safe
and Supportive Learning Environments" provides a comprehensive
examination of the topics most relevant for school professionals.
The first section lays out the theoretical foundation and
background school professionals need to understand the social and
political trends that impact LGBTQ individuals, the development of
sexual orientation and gender identity, risk and resilience
factors, and the intersection of LGBTQ identity with other aspects
of diversity. The second section explores topics critical for the
development of safe, supportive school environments, including
understanding legal and ethical mandates, training school
personnel, addressing bullying and harassment, and developing
inclusive classrooms. Special topics related to counseling LGBTQ
students, supporting families of LGBTQ students, becoming an ally
and advocate in the schools, and connecting with community
resources are also covered.
