LGBTQ+ Students in Higher Education – PNPI

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
While over 250 LGBTQ centers exist on college campuses across the country, there is limited data about LGBTQ+ students in higher education. Existing research shows that LGBTQ+ students face challenges in their K-12 experience that factor into their college enrollment and experiences. For example, data has shown that nearly 10% of LGBTQ students who experienced frequent verbal harassment didn’t plan to attend college after high school. Available data shows us that LGBTQ+ students who do enroll in postsecondary education continue to face unique challenges.

From my research in educational resources, I've found these practical tips for using gender-inclusive language in the classroom. Includes examples of gender-neutral alternatives and culturally sensitive communication strategies.

Our self-assessment tool allows schools to evaluate their implementation of inclusive practices. This tool is designed to help school leaders and educators reflect on their current practices and identify areas for growth in promoting inclusive opportunities for all students.

Through a series of questions and prompts, our self-assessment tool guides users through the various dimensions of inclusive education, including curriculum, instruction, school culture, and community partnerships. The tool provides a comprehensive and easy-to-use framework for assessing inclusive practices and identifying strategies for improvement.

We believe that self-reflection and ongoing assessment are crucial for creating truly inclusive learning environments, and we are excited to offer this tool to support schools in their journey towards greater inclusivity!

There are numerous benefits to self-assessments. Such processes can lead to the development of a strategic organizational plan with clearly defined short-term and long-term goals, measurable objectives, identified fiscal and personnel resources, and enhanced consumer and community partnerships.

Self-assessments can also provide a vehicle to measure outcomes for personnel, organizations, population groups and the community at large.

The NCCC views self-assessments as an ongoing process, not a one-time occurrence. The process offers organizations and their personnel the opportunity to assess individual and collective progress over time.
