Toward a Consistent Stance in Teaching for Equity: Learning To Advocate for Lesbian- and Gay-Identified Youth.
Athanases, Steven Z.; Larrabee, Timothy G.
Teaching and Teacher Education, v19 n2 p237-61 Feb 2003
Three education classes of mostly prospective teachers provided instruction on issues related to lesbian- and gay-identified (LG) youth in schools. Written responses of 97 students revealed lack of knowledge of LG youth prior to instruction. Though some students voiced resistance related to religiosity, the dominant stance was a strong appreciation for the new knowledge. Students made many links to broader social justice issues.
