Teach Like an Ally

＂In his practical guide to all the burning questions that agonize allied educators, veteran classroom teacher and celebrated transgender speaker Flint Del Sol weaves humor, storytelling, and accessible expertise into a hands-on pragmatic guide for teachers, administrators, families, and anyone committed to the unimpeded wellbeing of LGBTQ] students in secondary classrooms. Del Sol offers actionable strategies to be implemented in classrooms right away, answering the complex questions teachers face. What should you do when a student asks for one name in the classroom, but another at home? Or when you’re sure a student is trans, but they haven’t said anything to you? How do you know your bathroom pass policy isn’t hurting your most vulnerable students? When book bans threaten your school? When your integrity is at odds with school policy? Building a positive school climate doesn’t have to be intimidating. In Teach Like an Ally, educators will learn how to support each other, and what we can all do to give LGBTQ+ students the best possible chance to flourish.＂--
