Very few PreK-12 teachers are adequately trained to address the gender
identity and sexual identity of their students in a
developmentally-appropriate and pedagogically-sound manner. Yet
responsible adults—parents, educators, pre-service teachers,
coaches, religious instructors, camp administrators and school
counselors— must help children navigate the inherently diverse,
increasingly complex world of gender and sexuality in the twenty-first
century.
From the Dress-Up Corner to the Senior Prom is a practical, forward
thinking resource for anyone involved in educating children and
adolescents. Jennifer Bryan takes readers into classrooms,
administrative meetings, recess, parent conferences, and the annual
pep rally to witness the daily manifestations of Gender and Sexuality
Diversity at school. She provides a coherent framework for
understanding what readers "see," and invites them to use a
contemporary, heart/mind perspective as they consider the true
developmental needs of all elementary, middle, and high school
students. The book features thoughtful questions, models of dialogue,
accessible lesson plans, and many pedagogical strategies. At the heart
of this book, though, are the evocative stories from teachers,
students, and parents that Bryan has listened to over the span of her
career. These personal anecdotes bring the comprehensive explorations
of this seminal work to life.
