1. More than a Safe Space

Author

Sadowski, Michael

Abstract

Over the past three decades, much of the conversation about LGBTQ students in schools has centered on safety--anti-bullying policies, the "safe space" of gay-straight alliances, and "safe zones" marked by rainbow-colored stickers on classroom doors. In this article, Michael Sadowski argues that it's time to move beyond safety and to provide these students with an environment in which to thrive. He provides case studies of three schools that have taken their support for LGBTQ youth to the next level, including a Massachusetts high school that offers an LGBTQ literature course, a Georgia high school that provides LGBTQ counseling, and a New York middle school that has created an LGBTQ-inclusive culture. Sadowski asks, "Is safety the only thing that LGBTQ students are entitled to, or can we do better?" Through these examples, he shows that schools certainly can give these students both a safe place and a voice.

2. Safe Is Not Enough: Better Schools for LGBTQ Students

Author

Harvard University, Graduate School of Education, Sadowski, Michael, Sadowski, Michael, and Harvard University, Graduate School of Education

Abstract

"Safe Is Not Enough" illustrates how educators can support the positive development of LGBTQ students in a comprehensive way so as to create truly inclusive school communities. Using examples from classrooms, schools, and districts across the country, Michael Sadowski identifies emerging practices such as creating an LGBTQ-inclusive curriculum; fostering a whole-school climate that is supportive of LGBTQ students; providing adults who can act as mentors and role models; and initiating effective family and community outreach programs. While progress on LGBTQ issues in schools remains slow, in many parts of the country schools have begun making strides toward becoming safer, more welcoming places for LGBTQ students. Schools typically achieve this by revising antibullying policies and establishing GSAs (gay-straight student alliances). But it takes more than a deficit-based approach for schools to become places where LGBTQ students can fulfill their potential. In "Safe Is Not Enough," Michael Sadowski highlights how educators can make their schools more supportive of LGBTQ students' positive development and academic success.
