https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj How important do you think LGBTQ issues are for you as a future teacher? Additionally, any questions you have always wanted to ask but were afraid to? en-us 2018-10-09 03:32:09 UTC 2021-03-23 19:07:31 UTC hello@padlet.com mareid2 https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1342782438 2021-03-23 13:26:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1342782438 https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1342981882 What exactly is homophobia? I understand the general gist of it...but what exactly makes someone homophobic? For example, what if someone holds the religious belief that being homosexual is wrong, but doesn't let this affect their relationships with people who are homosexual? Does this make them homophobic?...Does this make them a bad person? I hear a lot of different opinions. ]]> 2021-03-23 14:00:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1342981882 tylerrichards1023 https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344557651 I'm studying to become a history teacher so I think it would be super cool to be like yeah check out this gay person who did this rad shit. This will give the Lgbtq kids some hope and inspiration that they can do the same. Not trying to say they need it but I'm sure it would be cool for them to hear. ]]> 2021-03-23 18:23:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344557651 https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344557702 Being knowledgable about LGBTQ issues is very important as a future educator because inclusion, acceptance, and a shared sense of respect is most consistently cultivated in the classroom. As a teacher, you are a leader and possibly surrogate parent, either way heavily impacting the beliefs/attitudes of the students you teach especially at a younger age. ]]> 2021-03-23 18:23:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344557702 https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344559117 LGBTQ+ issues will be important to me as a history teacher, but I know that I will have to work overtime to show people who are LGBTQ+ and aren't shown in only the required curriculum. Also, can I as a cisgender straight person use the word "queer" as an adjective to describe someone in the LGBTQ+ community? Also, is "LGBTQ+ community" an outdated term itself?]]> 2021-03-23 18:24:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344559117 https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344560131 I feel like it is our job to be as knowledgeable as possible in regards to what our students may be going through. Regarding LGTBQ issues, I think it is important for me to be aware said issues for any of my students that may identify with the LGBTQ community. I want to be respectful of their identity and I want to create a safe environment for them. Of course some students may not be comfortable making their identity public but that is also okay; overall it's about respect and awareness.]]> 2021-03-23 18:24:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344560131 https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344560889 LGBTQ issues are extremely important for us as future educators. I believe that we do not have to be experts but we need to know about the big topics. As a teacher, many different types of students will come into our room, and it is our responsibility and duty to make them feel safe. This means keeping up with all the issues that are important to your students, however they identify.]]> 2021-03-23 18:24:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344560889 https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344561287 Where does Queer fit in on the “spectrum” and what does it specifically mean?]]> 2021-03-23 18:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344561287 https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344562298 As a future educator, LGBTQ issues are very important because all students should feel safe and comfortable at school. ]]> 2021-03-23 18:24:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344562298 https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344563412 As a straight person, I will never fully know and understand what someone of the LGBTQ+ community goes through so how can I best support them as an educator and a friend. Also wanting to teach elementary school, how can we best bring up these topics to help students understand and also learn how to be a good ally. ]]> 2021-03-23 18:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344563412 https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344569631 What does it mean to be asexual ]]> 2021-03-23 18:26:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344569631 https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344571219 As a straight white male, I'm worried that I won't be able to create the safe space that I want to. Since I personally would not be able to relate to any of the struggles of any other group. But I'd like to be educated enough to know the correct terms and inclusive language for everyone. I'm more anxious than anything about being able to make a truly safe space in my classroom.]]> 2021-03-23 18:26:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344571219 https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344576382 How do I relate with my future students if they are LGBTQ+? 
How do I address pronouns to students that might go by something different?]]> 2021-03-23 18:27:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344576382 https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344578024 I find it extremely important. I want my students to feel loved and that they belong in my class no matter what. I also fully and openly support the LGBTQA+  Community and would like for my students to not feel as if they are being discriminated against in my class. Or if they needed someone to talk to I would be an open ear. One question is that I am always afraid to call someone by the wrong pronouns. I have done it before and then apologized and now call them the correct pronouns. But how am I suppose to know or how would I know if someone goes by different pronouns or if they don’t ? ]]> 2021-03-23 18:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344578024 https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344585035 Can someone be whatever they feel?  Is there any limit to this within the LGBTQ community?  Does this include only sexuality/gender or does it also include identifying as other things as well (as an animal or an inanimate object..)?  If this is true, then anything goes and if then how I as a teacher really tell my elementary students they can literally be anything?  And if that is not, then the line is drawn somewhere and there must be a point of objective truth...what do you think?]]> 2021-03-23 18:29:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344585035 https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344600833 If all throughout history, most societies have “rejected” the ideas behind the LGBTQ community, does that mean there is some legitimacy to this idea or is it just only recently we have understood the reality of the world?  Was the world naturally homophobic until now?  Just wondering what you think, nothing else.]]> 2021-03-23 18:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344600833 https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344771293 Sorry this is a question that just thought of.  Recently the Equality Act has been going through Congress.  I do believe that all people have been created with value and should be give the ability to work/rent..., but this act does put at risk some people’s religious beliefs and their freedom to live it out.  This is a huge topic, but what are your views? ]]> 2021-03-23 19:07:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mareid2/p1if65sovtoj/wish/1344771293
