Produktbeschreibung

Gender and sexuality identity play crucial roles in the educational experiences of students, parents, and teachers. This volume examines teacher candidates' experiences with gender and sexuality in the classroom, offering insight and strategies to better prepare teacher educators to support LGBTQ youth and families. It addresses the need for broader, more in-depth qualitative data describing teacher candidates' responses to diversity in the classroom. By using pedagogical tools such as narrative writing and positioning theory, teacher candidates explore these issues to better understand their own students' narratives in deeply embodied ways.
