Crafting Standards-Based LGBT-Inclusive Lessons (HyperLinks)
Author: GLSEN
Gay,
Lesbian, and Straight Education Network is
a great resource for ALL students, I emphasized on the all
so much because this website includes not only straight students but
also gay and lesbian as well. I respect this website a
lot because unlike other educational websites GLSEN does not hide the
fact that there are more than just straight students within the school systems.
Lesbian and Gay are highly valued throughout this website. GLSEN helps educate
not only students but as well as teachers and also the public. This website
clearly disregards sexual orientation, and seeks new ways to inform everyone
how to value EVERYONE's gender identity. I feel like this is a very welcoming
website for all ages.
The Gay, Lesbian,
and Straight Education Network have great articles to read about
current events within communities. One article I found interesting was about how a
schools in California are required to include lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender in their lessons. I felt as though this was a good
decision to make when the curriculum was revised. This is an improvement,
better yet a development for students, teachers, faculties, and staff
in the schools. Including LGBT in the curriculum gives these
students value and respect, as well as a chance to be acknowledged in a
positive way rather than negative.
GLSEN has lots of resources, news, "tools & tips"
to help educate. Also ways to take action, and stop bullying. This website is popular world wide with thousands of people
joined on their website. GLSEN website also includes a blog for people to get
their voice heard, not only about LGBT but also racism, bullying, and
education mostly anything that deals with school. This is by far a wonderful
website to explore.
Talking Point: LGBT should be included in all school districts curriculum.
The GLSEN blog sounds cool. Good resource for students and teachers.
ReplyDeleteI like how the schools in California are incorporating gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Americans in their lessons. Every school should include this into their curriculum. I agree with you, I also like how GLSEN does not just focus on straight students, but gay and lesbian people as well. I like the colors in your blog post, very creative.
ReplyDeletei sort of said the same thing in blog about how this website makes sure that the gay and lesbian also know they are included, which is a good thing. i agree
