TETD 817 Research in Teacher Education: Queering Teacher Education: Exploring LGBTQ+ Inclusive Practices for Teachers
Monica Taylor W 5:30-8:00
This course provides teacher educators an opportunity to examine how they can prepare and support teachers in adopting frameworks that challenge heteronormativity in schools and instead embrace LGBTQA+ and gender non conforming youth. Future teacher educators will problematize normative teacher education and the ways in which it excludes meaningful sexuality and gender education in the curriculum. Using queer theory as a framework of critical analysis and understanding that sexual orientation and gender identities are social constructs influenced by a variety of factors, we will investigate the normative influence at the individual, institutional, and socio-cultural levels and the ways in which teachers, individually and collectively, can challenge these injustices through curriculum, teaching practices, and policy. We will develop strategies to help preservice and inservice teachers examine how their own sense of sexuality and gender identity is imbued with various degrees of compulsory heterosexuality and the gender binary and the resultant problematic effects this can have for all young people at various stages of development.
