Our schools have undoubtedly done a poor job of serving our LGBTQ+ students. What are schools doing now to correct this, and what work still needs to be done in order to ensure that our LGBTQ+ students are given the education they deserve? We sit down with two transformative educators - Emily Grijalva and Erin Whalen - to discuss their work and advocacy for LGBTQ+ students. But first, we explore recent headlines in education regarding climate change curriculum, underprepared special education teachers, and a district that’s now allowing students to miss school for political protest. ***Please consider subscribing to our YouTube channel! https://youtube.com/AllOfTheAbove *** DO-NOW HEADLINES: - New Zealand introduces curriculum to address climate change (2:55) - Schools lean on underprepared SPED teachers to fill vacancies (9:05) - District to allow students to miss one school day for protest (18:00) SEMINAR: - Serving our LGBTQ+ youth (26:42) CLASS DISMISSED: - MN Teacher of the Year kneels during national anthem (1:03:08) Get MORE All of the Above: Website: https://AOTAshow.com Watch at: YouTube.com/AlloftheAbove Listen on Apple Podcast at: bit.ly/AOTApodcast Listen on Spotify at: open.spotify.com/show/4NO3FENVr96JJTU4ZjdnCm Liston on Soundcloud at: @aotashow Listen on Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/all-of-the-above-show/all-of-the-above?refid=stpr Follow us at: Facebook.com/AOTAshow and Twitter.com/AOTAshow
