As educators we know that bullying, harassment and isolation can have devastating effects on a young person's academic and socioemotional success in classroom and beyond. LGBTQ youth are at higher risk for these and many other negative outcomes. Fortunately teachers and school administrators are in the position to change these outcomes for our LGBTQ students. In this workshop we will delve into the complexities of LGBTQ youth’s experiences in the classroom and school system, and explore strategies to make school a safe space for LGBTQ youth.
