    Sex, Gender, and Sexuality: What the Science Says]]>     2022-12-01 19:21:59 UTC https://padlet.com/researchproject/nkor9z6dndsrcugy/wish/2405651352     Books/Articles for Teachers etemple99 https://padlet.com/researchproject/nkor9z6dndsrcugy/wish/2405651963 Elementary Books/Articles:

    For teachers AND students 3rd-6th grade, The Every Body Book: The Lgbtq+ Inclusive Guide for Kids About Sex, gender, bodies, and families, is an all encompassing and easy to use book for parents and educators that helps introduce these topics to students in a non-binary, body positive and simple way.

    Supporting gender identity and sexual orientation diversity in K-12 schools. This book reviews timely, pragmatic interventions and strategies to support LGBTQ students in K-12 schools. Where formal programs affirming diversity of gender expression and sexual orientation are not yet in place, contributors provide insights and practical tips for creating a positive, safe school environment. Topics include how stigma based on gender expression or sexual orientation can affect children and adolescents in school performance and risk-taking behavior, and how schools can flip the narrative on bullying and victimization to one that promotes strengths and school connectedness. Teacher and school staff training issues are also addressed, along with suggestions for advocacy on the small scale and at local, regional, and state systems levels. In this book, school counselors and psychologists, administrators, teachers, and other community stakeholders will find steps they can take to translate and implement the ever-growing body of scientific theory and research on equitable education of gender minority and sexual minority children, youth, and families.

There’s only one problem: His conservative parents won’t accept that he’s transgender. And to stay with his aunt in the city, August must promise them he won’t transition.

This book also addresses bullying as there is an anonymous person who claims they know what Riley’s real identity is and they start making threats to Riley. ]]>     2022-12-01 19:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/researchproject/nkor9z6dndsrcugy/wish/2405652689     Resources etemple99 https://padlet.com/researchproject/nkor9z6dndsrcugy/wish/2405838862 BOOKS-
