LGBT Educators' Perceptions of School Climate
Wright, Tiffany E.
Phi Delta Kappan, v91 n8 p49-53 May 2010
A national survey of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) educators examined differences of perceptions within seven identified factors: homophobia, principal support, policies of bullying language, policies of human rights, job safety, personal safety, and outness. It found that safety is best understood in two dimensions: personal safety and job safety and that, for LGBT educators to feel safe within their schools, they need the support of administrators and policies to ensure equal rights and protection.
