A hands-on guide to creating inclusive classrooms for transgender youth As President Barack Obama's Secretary of Education, I fought to ensure a safe, non-discriminatory environment for transgender young people in our nation's public schools and higher education institutions. The Advocate Educator's Handbook is rooted in the same inarguable premise that fueled those efforts: that trans youth have a right to learn in welcoming, nurturing schools where they can grow, be themselves, and live joyously. The Advocate Educator's Handbook establishes a blueprint for creating, in your classroom and your school, the environment of acceptance trans youth need to succeed. --Dr. John King, Former U.S. Secretary of Education, Chancellor, SUNY University System We all deserve the right to live, work, and thrive no matter our sexual orientation or gender identity--no exceptions. The Advocate Educator's Handbook is a timely and important tool in the fight for the freedoms we all deserve, and a critical resource to support trans and non-binary students. --Becky Pringle, President, National Education Association Visit www.theadvocateeducator.com for additional information and resources.
