Description
High impact strategies to improve student outcomes
Positive systemic change begins when school leaders elevate understanding and propel schools toward safe and diverse-friendly environments. To combat anti-gay discrimination, educators often use silence, policy, legislation and compliance. This brave book maintains that building safe and welcoming schools begins not only with effective and appropriate policy but also with inside-out analysis of one’s own beliefs and values. Resulting cultural proficiencies boost empathy and improve learning environments. On this simple premise, readers will find:
- Inside-out growth through personal stories and case-studies
- Reflection through activities appropriate for individuals and teams
- Insight through current responses to bullying
