DESCRIPTION:
Yet teacher education and training must incorporate these issues, if only because the plight of homosexual adolescents has become increasingly apparent. Moreover, some teacher education faculty still neglect these topics out of moral scruple, fear, or inattention to new research and practice. It is designed to help teachers, administrators, counselors, and policymakers understand the significance of gay and lesbian issues in education; to aid communication between gay and lesbian students and their families and schools; to facilitate the integration of gay and lesbian families into the school community; and to promote the inclusion of gay and lesbian curricula in a range of disciplines. Scholarship on homosexuality, gay and lesbian identities, history, and culture came to universities too late for most elementary and secondary school educators, leaving them unprepared to deal with these subjects. Bringing together thirteen topics related to homosexuality and education, Understanding Homosexuality, Changing Schools makes the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender experience part of a democratic multicultural vision.. This book is also designed to promote the healthy development of all students through reducing bigotry, self-hatred, and violence.

This Book Could Reduce Teen Murder, Suicide and Misery Michael J. Brower This book is a must read for everyone concerned with the issues of gay youths in our families, schools and communities. It is very well researched and documented, with hundreds of footnotes and references, by a person who is three ways qualified: he is gay, he was a public high school teacher for 20 years, and he has been a scholar at Harvard for several years. Despite being scholarly, it is highly readable, with many quotations and examples. I especially appreciate its quiet, though. Great Comprehensive Book Phuong Tran I was looking for a book to give information on education and LGBTs for my Master's. Great in depth information from various angles.
