Safe Is not Enough
Safe Is Not Enough is a comprehensive guide as to how teachers and school leaders can foster the positive development of LGBTQ+ students in their schools and classrooms and create inclusive communities. Using a wide-ranging list of examples, Michael Sadowski identifies genuinely effective practices that extend beyond performative measures and produce more inclusive environments for LGBTQ+ students. Such measures include creating an LGBTQ-inclusive curriculum; fostering a whole-school climate that is supportive of LGBTQ students; providing adults who can act as mentors and role models; and initiating effective family and community outreach programs. This book is an essential guide for schools and educators looking to make educational spaces more inclusive and welcoming to LGBTQ+ students.
