CHAPTER 6: Inclusive Leadership and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, and Questioning Students

ORGANIZATIONS

GLSEN provides a multitude of resources for communities and schools. GLSEN’s focus is to ensure that LGBT students are safe and are able to learn in schools free from bullying and harassment. GLSEN also conducts research on LGBT topics, partners with numerous national organizations, and works at empowering students to effect change. http://www.glsen.org

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) hosts a resource page with a wide array of materials at http://www.cdc.gov/lgbthealth/youth-resources.htm. The CDC is committed to protecting health and improving the quality of life through prevention education and control of disease. Specifically, the CDC has recognized that LGBTQ students are at risk for serious health problems, such as depression, and as a result, the CDC works with national, state, and local schools to address health, education, and safety needs of LGBTQ youth. Additionally, the CDC provides funding to local education agencies to conduct the Youth Risk Behavior Survey, which monitors the health-risk behavior among US students.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) fights anti-Semitism and all other forms of bigotry in the US through education, legislation, and advocacy. The ADL has also worked with partners to create “Unheard Voices,” an oral history and curriculum project that helps educators integrate LGBT history, people, and teaching. http://adl.org/education/curriculum_connections/unheard-voices/

Stopbullying.Gov is a website managed by the US Department of Health and Human Services intended to provide information about bullying and harassment directed at specific groups including LGBTQ, special needs, and religious minorities. This website also highlights national efforts and organizations combating victimization.

Groundspark- It’s Elementary: Talking About Gay Issues in School is a guide designed to go along with a video which was released in 1996. The video chronicles LGBTQ discussions in elementary classrooms, and the guide covers professional development, community and student activities, and administrator training. http://groundspark.org/download/IE_Guide_08_Final.pdf
