Abstract

Quality instruction can only begin when students feel safe in their classrooms. This sense of safety needs to extend to all students and all dimensions of—diversity. For members of the LGBTQ community, creating safe spaces in schools is a national imperative. Here we illustrate how teachers can create safe zones by—using literacy strategies in combination with LGBTQ literature to promote conversation, address stereotypes, and create a safe zone of kindness and acceptance—within classrooms and share literature dealing with issues related to themes of social justice, prejudice, and LGBTQ students.
