This inside-out approach carries readers through a personal journey of reflection to action by using the "Tools of cultural proficiency" to examine their values, beliefs, and assumptions about how LGBT communities are served educationally. Creating safe and welcoming schools includes both setting effective and appropriate policies and the inside-out analyses of ones own beliefs and values. Resulting cultural proficiencies, steeped in self-reflection, boost empathy and improve learning environments. On this simple, powerful premise, readers will find: inside-out growth through personal stories and case-studies; reflection through activities and prompts appropriate for individuals and teams; and insight into current responses to bullying. Using this first step for positive systemic change, school leaders can elevate understanding and propel schools toward safe and diverse-friendly environments. 650 $a Lesbian students--United States 650 $a Gay students--United States 650 $a Bisexual students--United States 650 $a Transgender students--United States 650 $a Homosexuality and education--United States 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180103043913.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20140627011143.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=92493528412811E3BE151FA6DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
