Episode 34: Teaching and Pride
During the June 17th Twitter chat, Joseph Boatfield and returning guest Kevin Hsieh facilitated a conversation about LGBTQ+ inclusiveness in the art room. They posed the question, “Do you have LGBTQ+ students in your classroom?” The answer is yes, there have always been LGBTQ+ students. The chat covered inquiries about stereotypes, how to navigate the topic with administration, and how to show support for students. In this episode, The Creativity Department speaks candidly with Kevin and Joseph to get their own perspective on the questions they asked, as educators and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Listen in for powerful insight and discover exceptional resources to help you build relationships with and safe environments for all your students.
