Educators in the K-12 school environment work diligently to help at-risk students find success in the classroom. One particular group of at-risk students is the LGBTQ+ population. K-12 students who identify as lesbian,gay,bisexual,transgender,or queer often fear the repercussions of disclosing this information in the classroom environment. Homophobia from fellow students,faculty,and/or administrators can be in the form of bullying,lack of acknowledgement of identity,absence in curriculum,etc. There is a strong need for this group of students to be included in the landscape of curriculum design and policymaking.Incorporating LGBTQ+ Identities in K-12 Curriculum and Policy is a critical research publication that provides comprehensive research on inclusive curriculum design and education policy that specifically impacts LGBTQ+ students. Featuring an array of topics such as gender diversity,mental health services,and preservice teachers,this book is essential for teachers,counsellors,school psychologists,therapists,curriculum developers,instructional designers,principals,school boards,academicians,researchers,administrators,policymakers,and students.
