79-170 - AQ Teaching LGBTQ Students
Course Description
OCT Schedule C Course
Teaching LGBTQ course candidates will be on an educational journey through the complex struggles of gender and sexual/sexuality minorities (GSM) students. Educators will learn about queer history and queer theory, queer culture, critical pedagogy, and, most importantly, the challenge to meet our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, intersexual, queer, questioning, ally, pansexual and two-spirited youth in a safer, inclusive, evolving, and celebratory space. Candidates will collaborate, conduct inquiries, reflect, and shift their mindset through an equity and inclusive stance. Reflecting back and looking forward, candidates will open up the present to make their classroom, a space for all students.
