''Inspiring and humbling. The authors invite us into their journey with such gripping honesty and complexity that we cannot help but to see the activist potential of teacher inquiry groups like that modeled here. Whether LGBTQ or Ally, readers will find themselves drawn deeply into Acting Out!...and grateful that they did so.'' -- Kevin K. Kumashiro, author of The Seduction of Common Sense: How the Right Has Framed the Debate on America's Schools
In this volume, teachers from urban, suburban, and rural districts join together in a teacher inquiry group to challenge homophobia and heterosexism in schools and classrooms. To create safe learning environments for all students they address key topics, including seizing teachable moments, organizing faculty, deciding whether to come out in the classroom, using LGBTQ-inclusive texts, running a Gay-Straight Alliance, changing district policy to protect LGBTQ teachers and students, dealing with resistant students, and preparing preservice teachers to do antihomophobia work.
