Description
Summary:Reviews the book, From the Dress-Up Corner to the Senior Prom: Navigating Gender and Sexuality Diversity in Pre-K–12 Schools by J. Bryan (2012). Bryan is an educational consultant who provides professional development focused on gender and sexuality diversity (GSD). This book is designed to be a resource for educators but is informative and accessible for anyone who works with children and their families. It is packed with examples of situations when GSD conversations surprised teachers as well as specific curriculum ideas to weave into class discussion, assignments, and organization. Importantly, she includes the voices of real teachers, parents, and students talking about their challenges, successes, and trepidations. Bryan suggests many ways educators can include images and discussions of gay, lesbian, and transgender parents, students, and teachers. This book is a practical guide to aid schools in their admirable missions. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
